Overview
Notifications enable you to customize what methods you want to use to receive notifications, such as Email, as well as what events will trigger notifications. This article describes how to customize notifications in Brightspace.
What activities generate notifications?
Typically, notifications are sent when you have new content, grades, assignments available, an upcoming due date, and when you have unread discussions. By default, Brightspace also sends a weekly Summary of Activity notification to your email (Sunday).
These notifications can be customized.
