Frequently Asked Questions

What are the notification options in Monograph?


Your notification options depend on your Monograph permissions. All existing preferences have been preserved. For those with access to Weekly Insights emails, they have been split into two separate emails. This change allows more granular control over notifications for specific projects. Each email inherits the settings of the original "Weekly Insights email" but can now be managed individually.

When is the Insights email sent?


Insights emails are sent to your inbox every Monday.

Will I receive Insights notifications within Monograph?


At this time, Insights notifications are only sent via email and are not available in-app.
