Enabling and disabling browser notifications permissions

Upon completing your first comparison with Gearset you'll be asked for permission to show notifications. If permission is granted, Gearset will notify you when a comparison or validation has finished when the browser is minimized or a different tab is currently selected.

What if I change my mind?

If you initially choose to deny notification permission but later decide that you want the feature enabled (or vice versa), you will need to edit the permission settings in your browser.

  1. At the top right, click the triple dot symbol and then Settings.

  2. On the left-hand side, under Privacy and security, click Site settings.

  3. Click Notifications.

  4. Add what Gearset will appear as in the list to be consistent with other steps. Gearset should be listed as https://app.gearset.com:443.
