Important! Search alerts created on the classic user interface will not sync to the new user interface and need to be created on the new user interface. These steps provide an easy workflow to convert your search alerts on the classic interface, to a saved search. Your saved search can be converted to an alert on the new user interface, once saved searches are synced in early 2025 on the new EBSCO user interfaces.
If you prefer to re-create your search alerts on the new user interfaces directly, [click here ](https://scribehow.com/shared/How_to_Create_and_Manage_Search_Alerts_on_New_EBSCO_User_Interfaces__KkfKrhsKRDiE6HRClAQOIA?referrer=workspace)for instructions.
NOTE: it is best practice to delete alerts created in classic to avoid duplication.
