Info

The easiest method to stay up-to-date with Confluence content that you care to follow is to use the Watch feature, which operates for Pages, Blog Posts, and Spaces. Once you have enabled a Watch, Confluence will send you a notification by e-mail whenever anyone edits the content, creates a new page or blog post, or adds a comment. You can choose the individual pages, blog posts, and/or spaces that you want to monitor and you can stop watching them at any time.

Tip

If you prefer to receive notifications via RSS Feeds vs. E-Mail, please see the page RSS Feeds-How to Create & Customize.

In general, when Watch is enabled, you will receive e-mail notifications for:

  • Content adds, edits, and deletions (unless the author ticks the 'Minor change' check-box).
  • Attachments uploaded, including new versions or deletions of an existing attachment.
  • Comments (Adds and Replies).
Warning
The format of the e-mails may contain some strange-looking commands in ellipses (called Wiki Markup), which is the way the pages are coded within Confluence. In its latest software release (v4.0), the company has improved the readability of the e-mail notifications; however, ICANN will not be able to upgrade to that version until some time in Q2-2012. Hopefully, even though it is a bit cryptic, you will be able to discern what has changed on the page that you are "watching" sufficient to determine if it warrants further attention
