editing comments in confluence

Question

We have users who have watches on pages complained to me that when user re-edited comments they made. It does not send an email to notify the watcher/s that the updated was made on the page.

According to my testing, this is by design. I was hoping that someone could confirm this and if they know a workaround.

Thanks

Regards

Jaime

FYI Does not work if you follow the user. Making a comment works, modifying a comment does not.

Hi Igor,

Thank you for advice

"Subscribed to daily updates" is not an option as we disabled the plugin so people would not get spammed on a daily basis with what people are doing on the Wiki Server.

Subscribed to network is not a good solution due to the fact that the owner of the space would have to follow everybody just to get a notification when a comment has been modified.

The space owner wants/need to know that a user has modified a comment so they can act on it in a quick manner.

All the notifications work for everything except when a user modified a comment they made earlier.

Thanks

Regards

Hey,

According to Email Notifications guide, they should get notifications on add, edited or deleted comments in they are Subscribed to daily updates or Subscribed to network.

* Pages being added, edited, or deleted.

* Blog posts being added, edited, or deleted.

* Comments being added, edited, or deleted.

Could you test that and confirm?

Regards,

Igor
