Manage page watchers
If you’re a space admin, you may want to manage who's notified about changes and updates to pages and blog posts within a space. You'll do this by adding or removing the watchers of specific pages, blog posts, or the entire space.
For example, a new team member needs to know when changes are made in the team space. You can add them as a space watcher, so they get notifications when any page or blog post is changed in the space. Or, you may have a team member who needs to know about updates to a specific page only. You can add them as a watcher of that page. If someone no longer needs to be notified, you can remove them as a watcher. (Though they may choose to watch the page or space again later.)
You can only manage the watchers of a space — and the pages or blogs within it — if you're an admin of that space. If you don’t see the option to Manage watchers, you might not have Admin permission for that particular space.
Space administrators can’t add watchers when on the Free plan or if part of a paid plan trial period.
To manage watchers:
Go to a page or blog post in the space where you'd like to add or remove watchers.
Select > Manage Watchers.
Specify which list of watchers you’d like to manage:
Select Page to manage watchers of that page or blog post
Select Space to manage watchers of the current space
To add a watcher, type a name in the Add watchers field.
To remove a watcher, select Remove next to their name in the list.
Adding or removing someone as a watcher will not prevent them from using the Watch feature for that particular page or space in the future.
