how to access notification log

[AC Question]

verizon samsung galaxy s7. running android version 6.0.1
did search and the solution was to add "settings" to home screen from widgets. There is no "settings" widget on the phone. I would like to view the notification log without installing an app. I dismissed a notification prematurely.

Does the widget list contain any folders? Samsung devices often group together similar apps or widgets together into folders in the App/Widget drawer. Look for a System folder.

No settings widget anywhere. I think it has to do with 6.0.1
I have a galaxy s7 edge.
Please advise
