When you watch a page, you are notified by email whenever the page is modified.

You will receive email notifications for:

page edits (unless the "Minor change" checkbox is ticked before saving) or page deletion
attachments (including new versions of an existing attachment or deletions of an existing attachment)
comments (including new comments, edits of existing comments or deletions of existing comments).

Note: You will not receive notifications when page content changes simply due to the output of a macro.

For example: The output of the {children} macro will change if someone adds a child page. The page when displayed will show the new child page. But the page content itself has not been edited, so no notifications will be sent.

To watch a page, you require 'View' permission for the page.

To start watching a page,

Go to the page.
Click the Tools menu at the top of the page.
Select the 'Watch Page' icon from the list. This will be replaced with the 'Stop Watching Page' icon .

To stop watching a page,

Go to the page.
Click the Tools menu at the top of the page.
Select the 'Stop watching Page' icon from the list. This link will be replaced the 'Watch Page' icon .

Here is an example of the email notification you will receive when a comment is added to a watched page:

Confluence 3.0 > Space Attachments Directory > emailwatchexample.gif

You can manage your watches via the 'Watches' tab under your user profile settings. See Managing Watches.
