About receiving notification of changes to a file or discussion
 

Some of the content in this topic may not be applicable to some languages.

The Subscription feature enables you to be notified by e-mail of any changes made to a Web site. You can cancel a subscription at any time.

You can subscribe to an individual page or to all the pages (files) stored in a folder on a Web server (Web server: A computer that hosts Web pages and responds to requests from browsers. Also known as an HTTP server, a Web server stores files whose URLs begin with http://.). When you subscribe to a page or a folder, your discussion server (discussion server: A computer that stores discussion text and information about the location of the file being discussed.) notifies you on a scheduled basis if a file or folder is modified, deleted, or moved, or even if a new file is created in that folder. You can also be notified if a discussion comment (discussion comment: A remark or topic of discussion that is associated with a Web page or Microsoft Office file and is stored on a discussion server.) is deleted from a file, or if a new discussion comment is added.
