Auto-subscription to content

On GCcollab, you will automatically be subscribed to notifications (both on site and by email) when you:  

  1. Create new content.

    You will receive notifications related to the content you create when someone adds a comment or replies to it (eg. comments on a blog or file, replies to a discussion, etc.). These notifications can be managed from the “Personal Notifications” section.

  2. Join a group.
    After joining a group, you will start receiving notifications related to all new content added to that group, such as a new blog post, discussion topic, page, etc. These notifications can be managed from the “Group Notifications” section.


You will not receive notifications for subsequent comments/replies made on that content unless you:

  • Manually subscribe to the content using the bell icon;
  • Post a comment about that content;
  • Post a reply to that content;
  • Share that content.


Note: You will not receive notifications related to content that you “like” or “share”. These notifications can be managed from the “Other Content Subscriptions” section.


Subscribing to specific content from a page

On GCcollab, you also have the option to subscribe (or unsubscribe) to notifications directly from the page you are viewing.

  1. Go to the content of interest.
  2. Click on the bell icon:
  • To subscribe - the bell will become a solid colour.

  • To unsubscribe - the bell will become greyed out with a line going across.
