Overview

If you would like to know whenever a change occurs in the Shared Documents library or to a particular file in the Shared Documents library, then you can create an alert for it. (An alert is an e-mail notification that summarizes the change.)

You may select whether to receive alerts for

• All changes (added items, changed items, and deleted items)
• Added items only
• Changed items only
• Deleted items only

You may also select how often to receive alerts:

• Daily (Select this option to receive summarized alerts once a day.)
• Weekly (Select this option to receive summarized alerts once a week.)
