Don't notify followers of updates

By default, updating content will send notification emails to members who are following the content. Enabling this feature allows content creators to opt-out of sending these notifications to followers when updating their published content. Opting-out of sending notifications is useful for reducing unnecessary email notifications caused by making small edits to your content. 

Considerations and Caveats

Keep in mind the following when working with this feature: 

• Workplace Administrators must enable it on the Global Settings page.
• The ability to opt-out of sending notifications when updating published content only occurs on the following content types:
  • Blog articles and channels
  • Calendar events and channels
  • Documents, folders, and folder channels
  • Forum posts and channels
  • Wiki articles and channels
• @mentions in the content will still generate notifications.
• This feature is not available on drafts and content that is in moderation.
