# Disable comment notifications in Docs

Turn off email notifications for comment activities in Docs to manage which comment events you're notified about.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_cwm.cwm\_user

## About this task

You receive email notifications when a comment or reply is added to a doc that you are associated with and when you are @-mentioned.

## Procedure

1.  From your user profile, navigate to **Preferences** > **Notifications**.

    \[Omitted image "cwm-profile-nav-notifications.png"\] Alt text: System notifications settings in notifications preferences.

2.  Select the launch icon \[Omitted image "cwm-open-new-window-icon.png"\] Alt text: to navigate to **System notifications**.

3.  Search for Docs.

    \[Omitted image "cwm-docs-notification-settings.png"\] Alt text: Docs comment notification preferences.

    The Docs notification settings are listed.

4.  Toggle the **Docs reply on comment notification** and **Docs user mention comment notification** settings off.

5.  Close the system notifications window and return to your main tab.

    Your notification preferences are updated.


## Result

You no longer receive email notifications for any comment activity on Docs. You can still view comments directly in the Docs interface and re-enable notifications at any time by toggling the settings on.
