 #### Snooze feature:
-**Use case:** You wish to be notified of available updates in a timely manner, but do not require reminders after the initial notification with the same frequency.
+Configure to receive scheduled notifications only if they're new since the last notification - within a set time frame.
-e.g. *Dockcheck is scheduled to run every hour. You will receive an update notification within an hour of availability.*  
+
-**Snooze enabled:** you will not receive another notification about updates for this container for a configurable period of time.  
+**Example:** *Dockcheck is scheduled to run every hour. You will receive an update notification within an hour of availability.*  
-**Snooze disabled:** you will receive additional notifications every hour.
+**Snooze enabled:** You will not receive a repeated notification about an already notified update within the snooze duration.  
+**Snooze disabled:** You will receive additional (possibly repeated) notifications every hour.  
+
+To enable snooze uncomment the `SNOOZE_SECONDS` variable in your `dockcheck.config` and set it to the number of seconds you wish to prevent duplicate alerts.  
+Snooze is split into three categories; container updates, `dockcheck.sh` self updates and notification template updates.
 
-To enable snooze, uncomment the `SNOOZE_SECONDS` variable in your `dockcheck.config` file and set it to the number of seconds you wish to prevent duplicate alerts.
-The true snooze duration will be 60 seconds less than your configure value to account for minor scheduling or script run time issues.
 If an update becomes available for an item that is not snoozed, notifications will be sent and include all available updates for that item's category, even snoozed items.
-`dockcheck.sh` updates, notification template updates, and container updates are considered three separate categories.

+  - Add another notification channel to `NOTIFY_CHANNELS` in `dockcheck.config`. The name can contain upper and lower case letters, numbers and underscores, but can't start with a number.
+  - Add the variable `<channel>_TEMPLATE` to `dockcheck.config` where `<channel>` is the name of the channel added above and set the value to an available notification template script (`slack`, `apprise`, `gotify`, etc.)
+  - Add all other environment variables required for the chosen template to function with `<channel>` in upper case as the prefix rather than the template name.

 If you hit issues, you could check the output of the `extras/errorCheck.sh` script for clues.
