Use the watchlist to notify you of changes and updates to any DDS wiki page.
Add a page to a watchlist
Navigate to the required page and then select the star icon .
A page already in your watchlist will be marked with a blue star. If you want to remove pages from your watchlist, click on the blue star icon. |
Using your watchlist
On the watchlist display, some page names appear in bold. This indicates whether or not you have visited the page to see the change. It's a bit like read/unread emails in an email inbox.
Email notifications
To enable wiki watchlist email notifications, confirm your email address in Preferences > User profile > Email options. |
To receive email notifications for pages on your watchlist:
- From the top user options, click Preferences.
- Select the User profile tab.
- In the Email options section, select Email me when a page or a file on my watchlist has changed.
After you receive an email notification for a page, you have to visit the page while you are logged in if you want to be notified of further changes to the same page. |
Use the Preferences > Watchlist tab option to tailor your watchlist preferences. |
