# Notifications
<a name="notifications"></a>

The **Notifications** page displays version differences for workloads and review templates that have lenses and profiles associated with them. You can upgrade to the newest version of a lens or profile for a workload from the Notifications page. 

## Lens notifications
<a name="lenses-notifications"></a>

When a new version of a lens is available, a banner appears at the top of the **Workloads** or **Review templates** page to notify you. If you view a specific workload or review template using an outdated lens, you will also see a banner indicating that a new lens version is available.

Choose **View available upgrades** for a list of workloads or review templates that can be upgraded.

See [Upgrading a lens in AWS WA Tool](lenses-upgrading.md) for instructions on upgrading a lens for a workload or a review template. 

When the owner of a shared lens deletes it, if you have a workload associated with the deleted lens, you will receive a notification that you can still use the lens in your existing workload, but you will not be able to add it to new workloads.

## Profile notifications
<a name="profiles-notifications"></a>

There are two types of **Profile notifications**: 
+ Profile upgrade
+ Profile deletion

 When a profile associated with a workload has been edited (for more information, see [Editing a profile in AWS WA Tool](editing-profiles.md)), a notification that there is a new version of the profile is displayed in **Profile notifications**.

 When the owner of a shared profile deletes it, if you have a workload associated with the deleted profile, you will receive a notification that you can still use the profile in your existing workload, but you will not be able to add it to new workloads.

**To upgrade a profile version**

1. In the left navigation pane, select **Notifications**.

1. Select the name of the workload from the list on the **Profile notifications** tab, or use the search bar to search by workload name.

1. (Optional) If choosing to save a milestone, select the **Save a milestone** box and provide a **Milestone name**.
