Managing Your Notification Settings

Last updated: August 20, 2026

In this article: How to control which email notifications you receive from Phaselaw.


Phaselaw sends email notifications to keep you informed of activity relevant to your work. You can choose exactly which notifications you receive- these are personal settings, so each team member can configure their own preferences independently.


How to access notification settings

  1. Click your name or profile icon in the bottom left corner of the screen

  2. Click Settings

  3. Select the Notifications tab


Available notifications

The following notifications are available. The first four are turned on by default:

  • Document assigned to you — when a team member assigns a document to you

  • Mentioned in a comment — when someone @mentions you in a comment

  • Replies in your comment threads — when someone replies to a comment you left

  • Export finished — when an export you created is ready to download

The following notifications are available but off by default:

  • Redundancy analysis finished — when an exclude redundant emails task completes

  • Near duplicate detection finished — when a near duplicate detection task completes


How notifications work

Suppression: Phaselaw won't notify you about actions you take yourself. For example, if you assign a document to yourself, you won't receive a notification — but if a colleague assigns one to you, you will.

Buffering: if you receive multiple notifications in a short period, Phaselaw groups them together so you don't get flooded with emails. For example, if you're mentioned in several comments quickly, you'll receive a single email summarising them.
