How do subscriptions and bookmarks work in the Community?
As you engage in the Community, you may want to subscribe to specific content, or categories of content, so you can return to it at any time. The Community can send you automated notifications about changes to this your subscriptions both on the platform and through email. You’ll get a notification when:
- Someone responds to a topic you have created or have subscribed to
- You are “@mentioned” in a post
- You receive kudos
- Content you’ve subscribed to is updated
You can subscribe to content from the most high-level Community areas like Answers (Forums), AppDynamics Knowledge Base, Blogs (Community, Product News & Announcements, Training & Certifications), and this Welcome Center, to the most specific levels like individual posts or articles.
NOTE | You can manage your notifications from the drop-down under your Profile. See the How do I manage my subscriptions, bookmarks, and notifications? article here in the Welcome Center.
How do I subscribe or unsubscribe to content?
Subscribing and unsubscribing to content is the same across the Community.
- Navigate to the content you want to receive notifications about.
This can be a broad area like the Community Blog, a slightly narrower area (like content filtered by a label), or a specific post or article. - Look for the Options button (it might be on the top left or right)
- Click the Options button look for Subscribe
- Click Subscribe. A confirmation message will display.
- Anytime you navigate back to that spot, the page will indicate that you are subscribed to it.
What do I need to know about subscribing to labels?
Most areas in Community like Answers (Forums), All Blogs, Tech Talks and the AppDynamics Knowledge Base—use labels to categorize help organize. You will see the labels listed in the right rail. Besides filtering by them, you can subscribe to any of these labels and receive ongoing automatic notifications for new or revised content with that label.
- From the area with a label, (i.e., Answers) select the label you want to subscribe to, listed under the Labels heading on the right rail.
- On the banner above the page title, you see that the label you clicked is the active filter.
- On the banner, hit Subscribe.
