Notification Setting

There are 2 different ways you can be notified of comments in your doc: by participating in a thread or by subscribing to comment notifications.

  1. Notifications for threads you participate in. If you participate in a comment thread or are explicitly mentioned by a teammate, you’ll always receive notifications for further interaction in that thread. It’s not currently possible to opt out of these notifications.
  2. Subscribing and Unsubscribing Notification
    1. Subscribing to comment notification. If you don’t participate in or get mentioned in a thread, but want to stay abreast of new comments on a particular part of your doc, you can subscribe to comments.
    2. You can subscribe to the following objects in a doc:
      1. Rows (click the expand row icon → click the bell icon → choose all comment)
      2. Tables (cllick options → click the bell icon → choose all comment)
      3. Entire docs, Pages and Subpages (click the gear icon → notification → choose all comments)
  3. Unsubscribing. Prevent unnecessary notification, by unsubscribing pages or row that are unrelated to you. Go to gear icon → notification setting → Manage all notification → show all → choose page/table that you’d like to unsubscribe by clicking (x) icon
There is a setting tools we can activated to add table of content in every page or subpage automatically. And below is how you activate the settings.
