About subscriptions

Subscriptions are used to notify subscribed users via Email of any changes to a document version. Users can subscribe themselves to documents and users can subscribe other users. A system option can force the version number to increment automatically upon promotion from a draft to a master. Alternatively, users can manually increment a version number.

For diagrams, a different set of subscribers can be defined for the draft and master versions. Subscribed users will not be copied over when a draft diagram is promoted. However, when assigning subscribers to a document, both draft and master versions will contain the same subscription list. If you remove a subscribed user from the draft version then it will also be removed from the master version, and vice-versa.

Note: Contributors cannot add or remove other users from a subscription list, however they can add or remove themselves (if they have the Change Subscription user account setting enabled).
