# Account, notifications & activity

## Signing in & passwords

Accounts come from [invitations](/en/docs/people/) — someone invited for the first time
sets a password while accepting, and signs in after accepting. After that it's email +
password; a forgotten password goes through **Forgot password?** on the sign-in page:
leave your email, follow the link, and set a new one under **Reset Password**. An
interrupted deep link returns you to where you were headed after sign-in.

## My account

**My account** is your own side of the record:

- **Your details, emergency contact, home address** — three bands, one Save in the
  header. Your email is how you sign in, and this page can't change it.
- **Organization** — when you have more than one identity to switch between (several
  orgs, or several assignments in one), each is a row here: the primary one badged
  "Primary", the current one ticked. Pressing a row switches you there, without
  signing in again. A failed switch never half-switches: "Couldn't switch — you're
  still in your current context."
- **Sign out** — the last band, its button styled as what it is.

## Home

Home is a **composition surface**: every section is an entry point to a screen that
owns the data. Two are Home's own: **Right now** (today's shift — or the next one this
week), and a new org's **Set up your clinic** checklist — each step links to the console
that owns it, and the whole zone retires itself once the org is set up, so it can never
become a banner people learn to ignore.

## Notifications

**Notifications** lists newest first, behind an All / Unread filter. The key fact:
**every row is a link** — tapping marks it read *and* takes you to the thing itself:
the request awaiting your decision, the task assigned to you. A destination you can't
open stays a plain row that quietly marks read — it never walks you into a 403.
"Mark all read" appears only while something is unread.

## Branch activity

**Activity** (branch level) is the ledger of who changed what: the change, the actor,
the branch, the time. The "only changes from outside this branch" toggle is the
multi-branch magnifier — outside interventions at a glance. Branch-tier holders see
their own branch, always; org-wide holders switch branches with the branch switcher, or
read the whole company on the Activity tab of Company ▸ Oversight.

> **This page makes authority legible — it doesn't widen it**
>
> The activity log grants nobody a new ability to change anything — whoever could
> change things already could. What it does is make what happened visible.
