There are two types of notifications: e-mail notifications (that you will receive on the mail address associated to your account) and workbox notifications, accessible from the 'workbox' in the right corner of the top menu bar in collaborate.green.

E-mail notifications

When you 'watch' a page, blog post or space, collaborate.green will send you a notification by email whenever anyone adds or updates content on that page or space. You'll receive immediate emails for important notifications (like mentions and new pages), but when lots of changes are being made at the same time, you'll only receive a single email with all the changes (within a 10 minute window). 
N.B. You need 'View' permission for the page, blog post or space to receive notifications.This also means that if you mention a person in a page that person is not allowed to view, he or she will not receive a notification of the mention.
You can also subscribe to daily email reports and other notifications of various updates.

  • A blog post is added or changed in a space that you have permission to view.
