Notifications
- Edits and comments made on a followed page (even if they don't involve you), are aggregated in the
All Updatesmenu in your sidebar underFollowing. Here's what they show: - Text that has been added is highlighted in blue.
- Gray strikethrough text shows what has been removed.
- You can click on any edit to jump right to where it was made on the page.
- Revision history is also visible on the page itself when you click
Updatesat the top right.
- If revisions are made when you're not logged into Notion, you'll receive an email notification that shows them. Revisions don't trigger push or other types of notifications.
- You can unfollow a page at any time, even if you created it.

The
Updates menu at the top of any page (the same as This Page on mobile when you click the clock icon) is page-specific, and only useful for three things:- It keeps a running list of revisions and comments made on the page.
- You can click the clock icon to the right of any of these revisions to view the version of the page that existed at that point in time in
Page History.
- You can choose to follow or unfollow a page.

All Updatesmenu in your sidebar for workspace-wide updates.
