Start in the app: https://app.commentwatchdog.com/en/settings/general
Result when done: One email a day, at your hour, listing what is waiting.
Context: The digest has two halves. The workspace decides whether it runs and at what hour; each person decides whether they receive it.

Before you start:
1. The send time and timezone are workspace settings.
2. Your own copy is a switch on the Notifications tab.
3. Nothing is sent on a day with nothing waiting.

Steps:
Step 1 of 2: Set the hour for the workspace.
Where: Settings, then the Settings tab. Tick Daily digest, then choose Send time and Timezone, then Save.

You should see: Saved, and the next digest leaves at that hour.

Step 2 of 2: Choose whether you receive it.
Where: Settings, then Notifications. Daily comment digest is the first switch.

You should see: Your own copy on or off, without affecting anyone else.

If something is off:
Problem: It arrives at the wrong hour
Fix: The timezone beside Send time decides, not your computer clock.
Problem: Some of my team get it and some do not
Fix: Each person has their own switch on the Notifications tab.
Problem: Nothing arrived today
Fix: Nothing was waiting for review.

Common questions:
Question: Who can change the time the daily digest is sent?
Answer: An Owner or Administrator. Send time and Timezone are workspace settings on the Settings tab; anyone on the team decides for themselves whether they receive a copy, with the Daily comment digest switch.
Question: What does the daily digest email contain?
Answer: One morning summary of the comments waiting for review, sent once a day at the hour the workspace chose. Nothing is sent on a day with nothing waiting.
Question: If the workspace digest is off, does my own switch still send me one?
Answer: No. The workspace decides whether the digest runs and at what hour; your Daily comment digest switch only decides whether you receive your copy when it does run.
