# Scheduled Searches

> Get automatic weekly briefings on any topic delivered to your account

Scheduled searches let you set up any Atlas query to run automatically on a recurring schedule. Instead of manually checking back on a topic, you set it up once and Atlas delivers a fresh, sourced update to your account.

## What are scheduled searches for?

Scheduled searches are for staying informed on topics that evolve over time:

* **Conference prep** — Track your committee topic week by week as it develops
* **Country monitoring** — Follow a country's political situation throughout your prep cycle
* **Conflict updates** — Get weekly summaries of ongoing conflicts without needing to search manually
* **Election tracking** — Follow a campaign as it unfolds, from early polling to results

## How to set up a scheduled search

1. Run any search in Atlas as normal
2. At the top of the result, click **Schedule this search**
3. Choose your frequency: **Daily**, **Weekly**, or **Bi-weekly**
4. Give it a name (optional — Atlas will auto-name it based on your query)
5. Click **Save**

Your scheduled search is now active. Atlas will run it on the schedule you set and save each result to your **Briefcase** so you can review it when you're ready.

## Managing your scheduled searches

Go to **Briefcase** in the sidebar to see all your scheduled searches. From there you can:

* View the latest result for each scheduled search
* See previous results (history)
* Pause or delete a scheduled search
* Change the frequency

## Tips for scheduled searches

  <Accordion title="Be specific for better results" icon="magnifying-glass">
    The more specific your query, the more useful the recurring update. Instead of "Middle East news," try "What are the latest developments in the Israel-Gaza ceasefire negotiations?" A specific question gives Atlas a clear scope to update on.

  <Accordion title="Use it for your committee topic" icon="landmark">
    If you're preparing for a MUN conference, schedule a weekly search for your committee topic from the day you get your assignment to the day of conference. You'll arrive with a week-by-week understanding of how the issue has evolved.

  <Accordion title="Track your opponent's country" icon="flag">
    If you know other delegates' country assignments, schedule searches for their country's position on your topic. Knowing how their country's position is evolving helps you anticipate their arguments.
