Notifications and order archive

Admin alerts land in the header bell and Notifications inbox. Completed and Shipped orders can leave the live boards via Order archive settings, then be browsed or restored under Archived Orders.

Who and where​

  • Roles: Admin for Settings tabs, /notifications, and /settings/archive
  • Routes: /settings?tab=notifications, /notifications, /settings?tab=archive, /settings/archive
  • Nav: Settings → Notifications / Archive; header bell; Settings link panels Manage

There is no separate “notifications archive” screen — unread/read lives in the inbox; archive applies to orders.

Checklist​

  • Sound preference matches desk needs (browser-local).
  • Completed/Shipped delays match how long you want cards on the live board.
  • After restore, confirm the order reappears under Orders at its last status.
  • Accounts/Design/Print: verify whether the header bell appears for their session and where clicks land (Verify in UI).
