Overview

All users can follow projects, regular users can add any other user as a follower, and external users can make someone a follower if that item is already shared with that person.

Follow a project (or add another user as a follower) to receive notifications related to changes to tasks in that project. You can choose which changes to be notified about in Email preferences in your settings.

When you add or remove someone as a follower of a project, they receive an email notification telling them that they were added or removed as a follower.

Clicking on the following icon of a project will show which users are following it.
