3.  Type `Show notifications`.

    All your notifications are displayed.

4.  Select the signal that you want to opt out of.

5.  Select the **Dismiss** option to withdraw from the signal.

6.  In the next set of actions, select **Opt-out** to unsubscribe from the signal.

    **Note:** The **Not relevant to me** action dismisses the current prompt and not the entire signal.

7.  Select **Yes** to confirm your choice.


## Result
