Watch/unwatch an entity

Any member of an organization can choose to watch or unwatch different entities including documents, topics, or publish requests.

Watching an entity means following up on its progress by receiving notifications for every change in that particular entity made by other members. You will also receive emails besides in-app notifications if you have agreed to receive them.

In contrast, unwatching means refusing to receive notifications for changes.

Instructions for watching/unwatching an entity and seeing the list of the watchers are the same for all entities. All you need to do is to find the watcher list icon relevant to an entity and take the following actions:

• By clicking the eye button, you'll start watching an entity, and when you click on the eye button with a strikethrough, you'll stop watching it.
• The dropdown menu next to the eye sign shows the list of watchers of an entity.

Watch/unwatch a document

1. Log into your organization home
2. Click the watch/unwatch button in the document list.

When you watch a document, you'll receive notifications for any change in any topic or publish request in the document.

Watch/unwatch a topic

1. Open your document in the content editor.
2. Select and open your intended topic.
3. Click the watch/unwatch button above the rich text editor toolbar on the right.

Watch/unwatch a publish request (PR)

When you watch a PR, you'll receive notifications for any change in the PR, or any topic in that PR.

When you are assigned as a reviewer of a PR (directly or via Approval Process), you will be automatically added to the watchers of that PR. But you can unwatch that particular process any time later. 

1. Open your document in the content editor.
2. Click the main menu on the top left >> Publish Requests. 
3. On the PR window, open the PR you want to watch/unwatch.
4. Click the watch/unwatch button on the top right.

Watching/unwatching a PR also includes all changes in the topics included in that PR.
