Followers

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.

Following a work item is a great way to stay up-to-date with its updates and comments. If you follow a task, you see its updates in the Activity Stream and receive instant email notifications.

Follow a Work item

Assignees of a task or app item and the State Manager/Project Manager automatically follow that task or app item. To begin following a work item:

1. Click on "Follow this item" link from the work item's view pane.
2. Alternatively, go to the task or app item's three-line actions menu and click "Follow this item".
