## About the Activity sidebar

The Activity sidebar shows tasks initiated during the current session. The most recent task is displayed first.

Task notifications provide information (including in-progress, error, and completion messages) about tasks that were launched.

The Activity sidebar differs from the Activity screen because it displays only recent activity. The Activity screen, in contrast, displays all activities and allows you to list, sort, and filter them. For more information, see About Activity.
