Coming back
Pick up after time away and check what needs attention.
Return to the Collection to see what changed while you were away. The welcome-back notice summarises the return, and the Collection shows care, ready eggs and other work in their own places. Read those states before taking an action.
Start with care that is ready, then open the Incubator if an egg is waiting. A locked gecko or paused collection follows its own clock; read the notice before assuming a timer has advanced. If your collection is paused, use Resume on the Collection when you are ready for its clocks to run again. See Locking and pausing.
The bell in the top bar gathers the few things that need your attention and your unread notifications. Open it from any game page, then choose an item to go directly to the relevant screen. The count includes every waiting group, even when the quick list shows only the highest-priority items.
