About subscriptions

The Subscription feature enables you to be notified by e-mail of any changes made to the content of your team Web site. When you subscribe to a list, document library, discussion board, or survey, the Web server notifies you on a scheduled basis if an item is modified or deleted or if a new item is added to the component you subscribed to.

You can cancel your subscriptions at any time.

  1. On a page that displays a list, document library, discussion board, or survey, click Subscribe.

  2. In the Subscribe to box, click the content you're interested in.

  3. In the Notify me when box, click the conditions under which you want to be notified of changes.

  4. In the E-mail address box, type your e-mail address.

  5. In the Time box, click how often you want to be notified of changes.

Note   If you use the Web Discussions toolbar in Microsoft Internet Explorer to subscribe to the same page, you may receive two notifications when a list, document library, discussion board, or survey changes.
