Subscription Overview

Subscribing means to indicate that you want to be notified whenever a specific event is performed for a workspace or workspace component. For example, you could request to be notified whenever someone locks a file for editing or checks in a new version of the file.

The application sends the notifications to the email address entered for your profile and to your IconMail inbox. The following table lists the events you can subscribe to for workspaces and workspace components.
