Description/Features

This plugin allows administrators to specify that any contributors to a space watch their contribution automatically.

This plugin allows administrators to specify that any user who comments on a page or a news item automatically starts watching it, so that they are automatically notified of further updates.

Note
After installing the plugin, you will have to specifically turn autowatching on manually.

Once you have it installed, access the Configuration screen to turn it on. In Confluence 2.2 or above, or with the Plugin Repository, simply click the 'configure' link in the plugin discription. If you are using Confluence 2.1, you will have to go to the following URL manually:

<your server>/admin/plugin/autowatch/config.action

Once there, you can specify that all spaces default to autowatching, or you can specify individual spaces to apply it to.

    Clarification: the description of this plugin says that auto-watch can be set up for "any user who comments on a page or a news item", which is slightly misleading. In reality, the plugin is *richer*, in that *any* contribution (create, edit) to pages, news, comments and attachment can be separately configured. Quite cool.

    I have autowatch configured and while the default is no, I set myself to Yes for everything.  However, after editing or commenting on pages, I do not get watches set up for them (when I go to my watches list, it shows up as empty).  Watches do work, because if I manually set a watch, I get emails as expected.

    Am I doing something wrong?  Confluence 2.10.1, Autowatch 1.2.
