Each block is also accompanied with two buttons--a notification toggle, and a "trash icon" button. The notification toggle is represented by a bell icon, and when toggled on, will send a notification to remind students that their class is starting soon. The time for the notification to appear will be specified within the "Notifications" tab within the settings.

Some features on the Cocky's Way app requires that a user be logged in so that their data can be save.
