What is the difference between the bubbles and hamburger icons featured on the PageUp homepage?

The bubbles represent an action which is waiting for you to complete.  Once the action has been taken, it is removed from the bubble.  You can think of the bubbles as a “cue” to let you know something needs attention in order to be completed.  The hamburger dropdown menu is considered as your access menu.  This menu consists of activities which you will do on a daily basis.
