As the title suggests - What configuration is needed - to inform team members a document has been added/changed in a folder? Thank you ---

Every user could mark the shared folder as “favorite” and activate the mail and/or push notification in activities app. ---

@swindhab Did you mean - under the user name at the top right corner, under settings, in the left column - where it says Personal \> Activities ?? I am asking because in the activity app I could not find a place to activate the mail or push notification. The only thing was RSS feed ?? Thank you ---

Yes. The first point is “a favorite file or folder has changed” and you can choose mail or push for notification. And after that click the 3dot-menu right to the folder name in file app and choose “add to favorites”. ---

> [@swindhab](#): > > The first point is “a favorite file or folder has changed” and you can choose mail or push for notification. Hi @swindhab how/where did you get that entry “a **favorite** file or folder has been changed” on my side I’m not able to see that first option [see my topic](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/notification-when-a-favorite-file-changed/130577). Is there any settings to do, to get this options ? thanks for your help ! ---
