---+ Using the Watchlist Plugin <div class="twikiNotification"> %X% The Watchlist Plugin is currently broken. Users cannot access their Watchlist page. %X% </div> The Watchlist Plugin is the recommended way to [[TWikiWatchNotify][monitor topics for changes]]. To use it, you need to be a registered user in TWiki. The Watchlist Plugin is a plugin to the TWiki server software -- you do not need to install anything in a web browser. It is installed by default in current TWiki distributions. %TOC% ---++ Getting started You can add a Topic page to your watchlist by clicking the *Watch* button, found in the tool bar at the bottom of the page. The button changes to *Unwatch*, allowing you to unsubscribe the same way. %ATTACHURL%/PageToolsWatch.png You can manage your watchlist by visiting your %WIKINAME%Watchlist page. Click the *Watched Topics* tab to see currently watched Topics and Webs. The *All* and *New* checkboxes in the *Options* columns allow you to watch entire Webs. *New* will automatically add newly-created Topic pages to your watchlist, while *All* simply watches the entire Web for changes of any kind. The *Preferences* tab allows you to chose whether you get an email immediately with each change, or batched together in one daily digest, or never. ---++ Managing watched topics Go to your %WIKINAME%Watchlist page, and click the *Watched Topics* tab. You will see something that looks like this: %ATTACHURL%/WatchlistTopics.png FIXME ---++ Reviewing recent changes Go to your %WIKINAME%Watchlist page, and click the *Recent Changes* tab. You will see something that looks like this: [[%PUBURLPATH%/TWiki/WatchlistPlugin/watchlist-changes.png]] FIXME ---++ Watchlist preferences Go to your %WIKINAME%Watchlist page, and click the *Preferences* tab. You have three choices for how you receive e-mail notifications about your watchlist items. This setting applies to your entire watchlist. * *Immediate* * As soon as a change is saved, an e-mail is sent * *Digest* * A summary of all changes for the day is e-mailed every night * If no changes occurred, no email is sent * *None* * The system never sends email about your watchlist * You can still use the *Recent Changes* tab to monitor activity of your watched pages ---++ See also * [[TWiki.WatchlistPlugin][TWiki.WatchlistPlugin]] - Standard documentation for the Watchlist Plugin * UsingNotify - The other change notification mechanism provided by TWiki
