The Follow button, located at the page banner, is a feature that allows community members to click it and subscribe to the project's updates.

The purpose of this feature is to make it easy for community users to stay up to date with your projects, by clicking on the follow button users will receive notification or updates whenever there's a news page or event page is published for that specific project.

Project follow is set at a project-level, meaning all subpages will inherit the same project follow settings as the parent project they are associated with, it cannot be applied to solely sub-page.

Example

Here is an example of a page that has 'Project Follow' enabled.

1. When creating a new project, the site administrators can enable project follow under the "Details" section of the set up wizard.

2. At the toolbar of your project page, go to Settings > Details - Project Page > Look for 'Project Follow' and click the checkbox to enable/disable.
