Settings → Notifications repeats the alert-channel section. ### Notification settings Add and verify an email for strategy warning emails; unsubscribe removes it. See [Notifications and alerts](/dashboard-and-account/notifications-and-alerts.md). ### Data management * **Export wallets** downloads every strategy wallet key. Do this before switching devices or clearing data. Save the export in a secure location on your device. * **Import wallets** restores from an export. * **Clear all data** erases Surge's local storage in this browser: the wallet list, cached strategy lists, drafts, preferences, and local pause flags. It does **not** touch anything on Surge's servers or on chain, but strategy wallets become unusable here until you import their key files. `[VERIFY: whether the encrypted key vault is cleared as well.]` Export first. ### Automate signing On by default: strategy transactions that pass the transaction guard are signed without the approval window, so strategies run unattended while the tab is open. Off: a Signing Approval window waits for your click on every strategy trade. Resets to the default whenever you disconnect your wallet. See [Signing and approvals](/core-concepts/signing-and-approvals.md). ### Keep screen awake Off by default. On: while at least one strategy is running (including a grid in a self-clearing pause), Surge asks the browser to hold a screen wake lock so the OS does not sleep the display. The lock is released when the tab loses focus or is hidden, and re-acquired when it returns. A header pill shows whether the lock is currently held. This does not keep a strategy running through a closed tab or a closed laptop lid. ### Alert channels **Browser push** and **In-app** toggles, saved in this browser. Enabling push asks for browser notification permission. `[VERIFY: push delivery is not functional in the current build.]` ### What is stored in this browser Strategy wallet keys (encrypted, in a separate vault store), the wallet list, the last strategies list (cached for up to 24 hours), pool prices, wallet connection, local pause/stop flags per strategy, DCA progress, funding-settle timers, swap preferences (aggregator mode, excluded DEX's), signing automation, wake-lock preference, notification read state, dismissed explainers, and the last-used tab on each strategy page. None of it is needed by Surge's servers; all of it goes with **Clear all data**. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.surgecardano.com/dashboard-and-account/settings.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
