How do I manage and view my notifications? For students

  • Updated

Managing your notifications

To manage notifications for a course, navigate to the course from your Perusall home screen. Once inside, go to your profile icon in the top right corner of the screen and click Manage my notifications. Adjust your email notification settings as needed, and click at the bottom right to apply your updates.

Perusall pop-up window titled "Manage my notifications," showing options to customize real-time and email notifications, including assignment reminders, comment mentions, conversation updates, and tips. "OK" and "Cancel" buttons appear at the bottom.

Notification settings are applied immediately and automatically to all courses in your Perusall account. Below are the customizable settings, along with a brief explanation of each:

  • While I am working on an assignment, suggest possible actions that might help me get more out of the reading and improve my score. (See more about dynamic feedback).
    • Having this enabled will allow Perusall to generate helpful suggestions to you as you work through assignments.
  • Notify me when I am mentioned in a comment.
    • If you are mentioned in a comment with the “@,” you will be notified.
  • Notify me of updates to conversations I participate in.
  • Notify me when someone sends me a one-on-one message.
    • When you are engaged in a one-on-one conversation via the chat menu, you will be notified when you have a new message.
  • Notify me when an assignment that I haven't yet completed is about to be due.
  • Periodically send me tips about how to best use Perusall to succeed in my course.

     
  • Never send me any notifications.
    • This completely prevents all notifications from being sent to you.

Viewing your notifications

To view notifications inside your course, click Notifications on the top navigation bar (left of What's new). 

 

Perusall notifications are not the same as notifications sent by your LMS. If you wish to receive/not receive emails in relation to Perusall assignments, please ensure you've edited both your Perusall notification settings AND your LMS notification settings.
