# Stay on top of your due dates as a reviewer

Receive reminders as due dates are approaching to make sure you’re always on top of your projects.

_To maintain efficient project management, due dates are key. In Filestage, you can add due dates to each individual review to make sure everything is delivered on time._

## Toggle on Due date reminders to make sure you always give feedback on time

In your personal settings, you will find a **Notifications tab** with all of your notification settings.

Toggle on the **Due date reminder** to receive updates about your projects as due dates approach.

## Reminder and roundup emails are sent every day until you submit a review decision

If you have not completed your review and the due date is approaching, we will send out email reminders.

You'll get an email between **7:00am** and **8:00am** every morning, except on weekends. This will give you a roundup of your pending reviews, including:

-   All reviews that are due soon
    
-   All overdue reviews
    

The due date reminder is only sent if you have a pending review with a due date between two days ago and five days in the future. Also, if you have finished your review, no email reminder will be sent.

## **How does Filestage send reminder emails if you have not left your email?**

If you were invited manually with a review link and you have not given us your email address yet, we are not able to send you due date reminders. When you create your first comment on a file, you will be prompted to leave your email address. Now you can receive due date reminders.

## **Other ways to stay on top of your due dates**

Besides email reminders, Filestage offers additional features to maintain an overview of pending reviews:

### The Home tab

On this page, you can personalize your overview of running reviews and projects using different filters.  
By default, a pre-set list is provided, showing all reviews sorted by their review date.

### Awaiting my review section

Another way to stay up to date on your due dates is by accessing the “[Awaiting my review](https://help.filestage.io/en/articles/3382337-how-can-i-see-which-files-still-need-my-review.md)” section and sorting your reviews by the due date.
