Manage my alerts with Modern Library

SharePoint online, new experience. I've set an alert on a document library. Now I want to remove it, but can't find anywhere to manage my alerts. It used to be a command in the ribbon. Where is it no...

Hello,

Go to your document library, on the landing page, please right-click on the name of the document library and then sleect the option "Alert Me". The Name/Title is actually not so well styled in order for users to know that they can right click on it.

Thanks,

Sudeep

Hi Sudeep,

Indeed it is not clear that the libray name is clickable. But still, it only opens up the "Alert me when items change" dialog to set a new alert. I want to remove an existing alert. How do I do that?

Hello Ingeborg,

The person who received the alert should have a link in the email called "Modify my alert settings".

  What, you mean I have to keep all the notification emails from all the alerts I set ???
  
  That's madness.

    Not necessarily, if it is related to a document library or a list (at least few) then getting the hyperlink from "Modify my alert settings" would work. Else, you can get to the link as you have constructed.
    
    I'm not usre if in the old envrionemtn the behavior was any different where users with limited access can get to their user alerts.
