Email Notification Settings

You can 'watch' a page, a blog post or a space. Confluence will then send you a notification by email whenever anyone adds or updates content on that page, blog post or space.

You will only receive notifications for content that you have permission to view. Users who have been disabled by an administrator will not receive email notifications.
