In the past, site owners were not able to choose whether or not they saw a ‘summary card’ in search results, but now they can.
Email preferences. Site owners can now also tell Google which types of emails they want to receive. In the enhanced email preferences page, they can enable (or disable) emails of specific types. Or, disable email notifications altogether. However, keep in mind that if you unsubscribe from any or all emails you can still see the message in the message panel for your property. Thus, no need to worry about missing important emails.
Why should you care? One of the bigger nuisances SEOs have with GSC is the fact they get one too many emails from Google. With the new preferences features, users can now control the email notifications they receive as well as whether or not they want Search Console data to be visible in search results.
