When you take any of these actions, your teammates get notifications.
You can see all your notifications in the Notifications tab of the sidebar. From there, you can click the blue dot next to a notification to indicate that you read it. You can also mark all notifications as read by clicking the checkbox at the top of the tab. If you click the filter icon, you see only your unread notifications.

member of if the folder has more than seven members.
