Review reminders and notifications

Bookmark Scope shows at most three kinds of notification. Here is what triggers each one, and how to set up review reminders.

All notifications

Notification	When it appears	How to turn it off
Pin Bookmark Scope for faster access	On a fresh install, and again at browser start while the pin hint has not been dismissed	Choose Got it on the Quick setup card in the dashboard or popup. Clicking the notification also dismisses the hint and opens the browser's extensions page
Bookmark Scope: new broken links found	After a scheduled background scan finds bookmarks that newly look broken	Turn off the scheduled scan in Settings
Bookmark Scope review is due	When a review reminder is enabled and its next date has passed	Untick Enable review reminders in Settings

Notifications use Chrome's notification system, so your operating system's focus or do-not-disturb settings can hide them. That is operating-system behavior, not something Bookmark Scope controls.

Review reminders: what they are for

A review reminder is a gentle nudge to open the dashboard every N days. It only shows a notification, titled Bookmark Scope review is due, that mentions the date the review was scheduled for. It does not scan, change or delete anything, and it needs no site access.

Turn them on

Open Settings. Use the popup's More controls menu or the dashboard's More actions menu and choose Settings.
Find the Review reminders section. Tick Enable review reminders (off by default) and set Reminder interval (days), from 1 to 365 (default 14).
Save. Choose Save settings.

What you do	What happens to the schedule
Enable reminders for the first time	The first reminder is scheduled interval days after your last recorded review, or after now if you have never recorded one. If that moment has already passed, it is set interval days from now
Save again without changing the interval	The schedule does not move
Change the interval and save	The schedule is re-anchored: last review date plus the new interval (or from now if that is already past)
Untick the box and save	Reminders stop and the pending alarm is cleared
A reminder fires	You get the notification, and the next one is scheduled one interval later

A value outside 1 to 365 is corrected when you save. The background worker re-arms its timer whenever these settings change, and reminders can only fire while the browser is running.

Mark reviewed now

Open the dashboard's Health panel and choose Mark reviewed now after you have gone through your library. It records the review in the Activity log. If reminders are on, it also moves the next reminder to one interval from now and shows Review marked complete. Next reminder …. If reminders are off it only logs the review. The dashboard footer ends with reminders off when reminders are off. The Health panel then shows Next review: Manual. When reminders are on, both show Next review in N days or Review due, with the number of days it is overdue. When a review is due, the Stats panel also offers a Scheduled review is due recommendation.

If you also want link checks

Use the scheduled background scan. It is separate: it needs site access, runs on its own timer and notifies you only when it finds something new.
