英文原文：Step 1 — Set the topic and place

英文原文：Open 提醒 with JavaScript switched on. Under 你想关注什么？, choose a topic such as Contracts and RFPs. Under Where?, choose a borough or Any place. Open 缩小范围 to add a keyword or agency. For contracts, open 更精确地匹配 to include any or all of a few words, treat an entry as an exact phrase, or exclude words. Example: include software, exclude maintenance, preview the awards, then tighten the exclusion if a useful record such as a Greenway project was removed because its body mentioned maintenance vehicles. Frozen award examples are published awards, not currently open bids. The selected choices describe an unsaved watch. No account or password is needed. This is separate from the city's own account system.

英文原文：Public meetings use the same 更精确地匹配 control. The board, place, and upcoming-event window you already chose stay the boundary. Extra wording only narrows it. Exact Council-matter watches and other topics do not offer these controls.

英文原文：Step 2 — Check the preview

英文原文：Press 预览匹配结果 below the choices. Read the rule sentence in 关注摘要, then check 关注条件 and the records under 预览. A preview is not a subscription: nothing is saved and no email is sent. Change a choice and press 更新匹配结果 to revise it.

英文原文：The message No matches now — still watch for new means the loaded preview is empty. You can save a watch for future records, or widen a criterion and preview again. If the preview is not ready, use its retry control. The current matches are unknown.

英文原文：Step 3 — Create the watch

英文原文：Under 邮件频率, choose 每日 (on days with matches) or 每周 (Monday digest). Under 创建此关注, enter 电子邮件地址 and press 创建关注. The watch exists as soon as the request succeeds. There is no confirmation email to click.

英文原文：Check for 订阅成功，我们会向你发送邮件。你可以随时管理或取消订阅。 Keep the welcome email's manage link. If the page reports an error, use its retry instruction. An error does not confirm enrollment.

英文原文：Step 4 — Change or stop updates

英文原文：Open the manage link in a CityScroll email. On the watch's row, change the frequency and press Save, or choose Pause, Unpause, or Delete watch. Check the row's resulting state. Edits apply to the next digest, around 9am Eastern. Unsubscribe all watches stops all updates immediately, so use it only when that is what you want.

英文原文：When saved watches are unavailable

英文原文：Under 你的关注, an unrecognized browser asks you to open a CityScroll email. Use that email's manage link. A link reported as invalid or expired needs replacing with the link in a recent email. If saved watches cannot load, use the offered retry. That failure does not mean they were deleted. A watch link reported as unrecognized has saved nothing: choose a topic on Following and start again.
