How To Disable Notifications For Attachments Action

[A_ Moje]

There is an article that describes how to disable several annoying notifications globally but it is applicable for Confluence <= 7.2 only.

https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-disable-notifications-for-attachments-action-862622270.html 

I assume there is a new/different feature for versions above 7.2 but was not able to find something.

Anyone who can advice?

Thanks for your help.

Workaround Ideas for single pages:

• Stop watching the page the attachment is contained in
• Move the attachemnt to a page that is not being watched and link to it from the watched page

The problem is documented in JAC

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-33214

but its in hibernation since 2014.

Unfortunately the Bug does not state a workaround other than the one referred to above.

@A_ Moje 

Are you looking to disable them for yourself or for every user?

I'm looking to disable watching / notifications for every user. At least temporarily when updating a page including deletion of a large number of attachments and comments.

Thanks you for your reply. Unfortunately the hints at above link are not valid for versions above 7.2

We are using version 7.4
In this version you cannot disable the modules as mentioned in above suggestions.
