Aurora: Manage Follow and Notification preferences for your account

You can manage your follow and notification preferences for the community.

Open the Account menu, and then click My Settings. Click Follows & NotificationsThe page is divided into different areas for managing your follows and notifications:

Follows

You can filter the items you follow by clicking the drop-down menu (by default, All is selected) and choosing from among All, Content, Boards, Categories, Groups, or Tags.

Once you’ve chosen your filter, you can hover your cursor over the followed item you want to manage, click the options menu, and Unfollow.

Email Notifications 

To adjust your email notification preferences, Get Email Notifications must be turned on in your settings. When this is enabled, additional settings (Receive email notifications when…) appear that enable you to indicate the desired cadence for receiving email notifications.

For all settings (except Edits are made to an article within a category or board I follow), you can select Never, Immediately, Daily Digest, or Weekly Digest from the drop-down menu. 

For the Edits are made to an article within a category or board I follow setting, you can choose from Never, For all edits (includes minor edits), or For all but minor edits. If you select any option but Never, email notifications for this setting are sent immediately.

For settings on which you’ve selected Daily Digest or Weekly Digest, applicable notifications are bundled and sent together in one daily or weekly email, respectively. 

All settings indicate the feature area of the community to which they apply, such as All boards or KB articles and blog posts. Settings related to content apply to all content that you follow in the area indicated.

Advanced Settings

The following settings, which apply to both in-app (bell icon) and email notifications, enable you to personalize when you receive certain notifications. Select an option from the drop-down menu for each setting.
