say, A posted a topic, B and C posted comments below days later A modified the topic, is it possible to have B/C get a notification for the topic modified… seems this is not a common case, just ask if there is some discussion on this already… thanks… modified to test

Looks like that is possible if you set the notification bell for the topic to “watching,” then there is supposed to be a notification sent if there are edits. Edits may also cause topic to appear at the topic of most recent topic list. [image] Configuring Default Notification Settings for Users Site Management When a new topic is created in a category or tag that you have the notification level set to Watching First Post, you will be notified when the topic is first created. After being notified about the topic creation, the topic will default to the “Normal” notification level, unless you manually change the notification level for the topic, spend enough time in the topic to automatically track the topic according to your Automatically track topics I enter preferences, or post in that topic dependin… This is an older topic about that may not all be accurate with current state of discourse, in this it is mentioned edits don’t ever create notifications except notifying original author of a post if someone else edits their post: [image] Editing posts cause notification Support What you’re describing is not really possible. What do you mean by “I have been updated”? What exactly did you do, step by step? Describe it in detail? Your question is unanswerable until you provide this information. Edits don’t alert anyone in Discourse.. ever, that I can think of. You will be notified if someone else edits your post by default, using the typical Discourse notifications.

watching only notify when there is a reply, the case I describe is when the post is modified… [image]

Watching does notify when the OP is edited, EX: [image]

not really, I just tried the case… A post a topic, B set to watching this topic A modified the main topic content, B did not get a notification.

Strange, could you try editing your OP here? I’m pretty sure I get notifications for edits and I am watching this topic… [image]

thanks @Firepup650 just modified the main post

Interesting, I didn’t get a notification for that. I wonder what the difference on the other topic is…

if I post a new comment here, you will get a notification for sure,

There are a couple admin settings that seem to be for this: [notificaton setting]

This is a need for us as well. I actually have always assumed that users have been getting notifications for edits.
