Set up reminders and notifications
Choose which reminder emails you want and when to pause optional emails. These settings do not set a fixed study time or change individual terms’ review schedules.
Open notification settings
Sign in on the web, open the account menu, and choose Account Settings → Notifications.
If you see Notification settings are not available yet., you cannot change the controls below in your current version. You can still open your library to check for due terms.
Choose your emails
- Turn on Email unread notifications to receive an email when you have not read a notification in the app.
- Turn Review reminders on or off as you prefer.
- Choose Reading import complete and Reading import issues if you also want email about document imports.
- Under Quiet hours, select a start time, an end time, and the appropriate Timezone.
- Choose Save changes and wait for Changes saved.
For example, you could pause optional emails while you sleep. Check the timezone so these hours match your local clock.
Which notifications remain?
Turning off optional emails does not remove notifications from the app. Security alerts and Billing actions are marked Always; email preferences and quiet hours do not turn them off.
When the bell is available, open Notifications to view the list. Opening the list does not automatically mark all notifications as read. Use Mark all as read once you have reviewed them.
If you have not received a reminder
Check the email switch, Review reminders, quiet hours, and your spam folder. A notification already read in the app may not need another email. No email does not necessarily mean there is nothing to review.
If settings do not load or save, check your connection and retry. Treat a change as saved only after confirmation.
Check what needs review
