At times, you need to track updates on work items where you are not assigned but are related to the work you're doing. By following a work item:
- You get updates via email notifications about the updated on the work items.
- You can even reply to the emails, which will then add your comments against that work item.
To Follow a work item:
By default, the assignee of a task or app item and the State Manager/Project Manager automatically follow that task or app item. Additionally, one can follow any work item:
- By clicking on that task or app item's three-line actions menu and selecting "Follow this item".
- From the work item's view pane.

- To unfollow a work item, click on Unfollow this item from its three line actions menu or its view pane. To unsubscribe from emails, click here.
- You need to be able to view a work item to be able to follow it or receive updates on it.
