You can watch for changes to a document or folder using (on the menu). Every so often, you will be sent an email summarising all the changes made since the last time.

Incidentally, you can also see the changes that have been made using (on the menu).

If you put a watch on the project folder at the top, you can monitor changes everywhere in that project.

When you watch for changes to a folder you get to see changes to the folder itself, for example if its name is changed or if a new document is added to it. You also see changes to any documents in that folder: new comments, new versions and so on. You also get to see changes to any folders in the folder you are watching and any folders within those and so on.

offers various options to control how often you are emailed, only see specific kinds of changes, whether you see changes you make or not and whether you see an accumulated list of changes or just the ones since the last email.

Documents and folders you are watching show the green Watching button next to their names. Click the button to see the watch details for the folder or document on display, like how often changes are checked for.

Twitter isn't offered directly as an alternative to watches and feeds because Twitter is a public forum and the documents within Ensembling are considered private.

Yes, in principle we could send you private twitter messages, but Twitter imposes a fairly low limit on how many of these can be sent, so when there are quite a few colleagues working in a project this would quickly run out. However, when the material isn't sensitive, you can always use one of the feed to Twitter gateways, such as twitterfeed. Do bear in mind though that in doing this you are broadcasting your colleague's information to the world.
