Tutorial 4 - Watching pages and managing your watchlist
1. Keeping track of site changes
It is possible to keep track of the changes to certain pages, so that you are notified when the page is edited or documents are attached. This is done through your Watchlist. Your Watchlist is a collection of pages that you have chosen to receive updates on. To add an item to your Watchlist, move your mouse pointer to the Watch menu at the top of the screen (see Image 1). Image 1 - Watch menu
From the menu that appears, click on Watch this page to add that specific page to your list.
Click Watch whole space to add the entire space (i.e. the Work Package you are viewing) to your Watchlist.
If you now do not wish to watch that particular page, click Unwatch page (as in Image 2).

2. Watching your watchlist
There are two ways you can choose to receive updates on the items from your Watchlist: either via e-mail notification or via an RSS feed. (What is an RSS feed?) To manage these update methods, move your mouse back to the Watch menu, then click on Manage your watchlist from the menu that appears. This will take you to page with headings for both e-mail notifications and RSS feeds (Image 3). Image 3 - E-mail notifications and RSS feeds
Under e-mail notifications, set how regularly you would like to be sent e-mails notifying you of any changes to the items in your Watchlist (although do note that if no changes have been made then you will not be sent an e-mail).
Under RSS feeds, you will see a link the will provide you with the RSS feed for your Watchlist.
This will allow you to receive real time updates on changes in your Watchlist from certain programmes (such as an e-mail programme). The procedure for using your RSS feed varies from programme to programme: please consult website support desk for the specific application you plan to use. On this page you will also be able to monitor what pages and spaces you are currently watching (Image 4). Image 4 - Pages and Spaces monitored by your Watchlist
3. What's New on the CAAST-Net website?
In addition to your personal Watchlist, the What's New page on the public side of the CAAST-Net platform will allow you to view a list of all the pages throughout the site which have been recently edited or created. You can access the What's New page by clicking on the heading found in the menu on the right of your screen (Image 5). Image 5 - What's New
