If your academy includes externally purchased content, you may receive reminder email notifications when those courses are retired ("A course was recently retired") or reach their expiration date ("A course is set to retire soon").
Depending on your preferences and internal processes, you may want to adjust how often these notifications are delivered—or turn them off entirely. The good news is that you’re in full control of this setting.
This article walks you through how to tailor these notifications to better fit your needs.
When Would You Use This?
You might find this helpful if:
You receive daily emails about courses that have recently been retired.
You prefer to receive a summary less frequently (for example, monthly instead of daily).
You want to disable this specific notification altogether.
Adjusting the notification frequency allows you to stay informed while aligning communications with your workflow.
How to Adjust the Notification Frequency
You can update this setting directly from your Academy Workspace by following the steps below:
1. Navigate to your Academy Workspace.
In the left navigation, make sure you are in the Academy Workspace.
2. Go to Reminder Notifications.
In the Academy Workspace, navigate to Notifications, and then select Reminders.
3. From the left-hand menu, select the General Training filter type.
4. Locate the notification titled “A course was recently retired”.
5. From there, you can:
Turn the notification off, or
Adjust the frequency (for example, change it from Daily to Monthly).
Once updated, your changes will apply moving forward based on the selected preference.
What to Expect After Updating
After you adjust the notification settings:
You will only receive emails according to the frequency you selected.
If disabled, you will no longer receive email notifications for retired courses.
You can revisit this setting at any time if your needs change.
