Each entry carries its own attributes, so one call can mark some notifications read and archive others. The semantics per notification are exactly those of `PATCH /v3/notifications/{notification_id}`: any combination of the three states, anything omitted left alone, and marking read keeps the first read time. Ids that are not in your own inbox are ignored rather than rejected. A selection in the console can go stale between rendering and acting on it, and failing the whole request because one row has since been archived elsewhere would be worse than quietly doing the rest. The response is the notifications that were actually updated, so the caller can see what took effect. There is no delete. Archiving is how an inbox is cleared, and the history is kept so that a replayed event cannot put something you have already dealt with back in front of you. To clear everything at once, use `mark-all-read` and `archive-all-read`, which do it in a single write rather than by listing every id. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi.yaml patch /v3/notifications openapi: 3.1.0 info: contact: email: support@ctrl-hub.com name: Ctrl Hub url: https://www.ctrl-hub.com description: > Ctrl Hub is the all-in-one platform for high-risk industries like utilities, construction, infrastructure, and renewables.
