Accepting or declining a hub invite
Join a hub from Notifications, see the role you would get, and what the row shows afterwards.
Step 1
The invite arrives
A hub invite lands under Chats & hubs, and you get an email about it too. The row says who invited you and the role you would join as: admin, editor or viewer. If the page is already open, new invites appear on their own within about a minute, with Accept and Decline.

Step 2
Accept
Press Accept to join. The hub opens straight away and appears under Hubs in your sidebar. Until you accept, you are not a member and the hub stays hidden from you.

Step 3
Decline
Press Decline if you do not want to join. Nothing changes for you, and the person who invited you gets a notification saying you declined.

Step 4
The row remembers
People whose organisation role does not include hubs cannot be invited at all, so an invite always means you can join. Once answered, the row shows what happened instead of the buttons. Cancelled means a hub admin withdrew the invite. Expired means nobody answered within 7 days; ask a hub admin to invite you again, or to resend it, which gives you a fresh email and seven more days.

Step 5
When you invite someone
It works the other way round too. When the person you invited answers, you get a notification under Chats & hubs saying they accepted or declined.
