Understanding 'Follow' in Zendesk Guide or Gather

Learn what 'Follow' means in Zendesk Guide or Gather and how it affects notifications for posts, topics, articles, and sections.

What does 'Follow' mean in Zendesk Guide or Gather?

In Zendesk Guide and Gather, 'Follow' means to subscribe to updates. When you follow a community post, topic, article, or section, you'll receive email notifications for certain updates.

For articles or posts, you'll get notifications for new articles or posts only within the section or topic. If you follow both articles/posts and comments, you'll receive notifications for all new articles/posts in the section or topic and any new comments. However, you won't receive notifications when the content of the article or post is edited or updated. To notify followers of updates within the article, you can add a comment to inform them of new content.

For more details, you can check theHelp Center guide for end users.
