# Keep track of workshop updates

Check your explainx dashboard and classroom announcements for workshop information. Email can help you notice an update, but the current run page is the place to verify session details.

## 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](https://explainx.ai/dashboard/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](/help/articles/community-notifications) 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](/help/articles/manage-classroom-channels).
