Keep track of workshop updates

Before each session

Review the schedule and required preparation. Check #updates for instructor announcements and automatic class updates, and #doubts for clarifications relevant to the exercise. Save a personal calendar reminder if that helps you plan.

If an email is missing

Check the account used to enroll and your spam or promotions folders. Look directly in your workshops rather than waiting for another message. Contact support if enrollment or session access is missing.

For instructors

State deadlines and next steps explicitly in the relevant message or class prompt. Coordinate email reminders with the explainx team; posting an ordinary message does not automatically send an email. Assigned instructors and admins can use @everyone or @here in classroom messages, while teacher-community announcements from owners or instructors appear in members’ notification feed. Keep the schedule and announcement wording consistent.

Use the bell and automatic updates

The notification bell collects class-live events, new recordings, schedule changes, cancellations, tags, and replies. Class reminders can appear without increasing its unread badge. Read state is shared across the main explainx app, community, and your devices.

Instructors can open #updates and switch Auto-updates on/off to control future automatic classroom posts. This does not switch workshop emails on or off. See Manage classroom channels and automatic updates.
