  3. Set how often you get emails:

    • Immediately: real-time updates.

    • Daily: one email at the end of the day (on any day with at least one activity).

    • Weekly: one email at the end of the week (in any week with at least one activity).

Even if you turn off emails, you still get number badges in your Notifications Center (the envelope icon at the top right of Atlas, next to your initials).

  2. Select a language in the Language menu. The change applies automatically.

This does not translate the content of any unit. For example, if a unit was written in English, switching to Chinese will not translate that curriculum into Chinese.

View preferences

  • Default Course View: the default view for all courses in your account. Choose Unit Calendar by Year, Unit Calendar by Month or Course Plan.

  • Default Unit View: the default view for your Unit Planner. Choose Unit Plan or Unit/Lesson side-by-side.
