*Title: Staying in the loop
*slug: subscription

================================================================

If you wish to stay up-to-date with new events in activeCollab you can <{term}>Subscribe<{/term}> to the ones that you find interesting. By doing so, activeCollab will let you know whenever something new happens and keep you in the loop.

You can be subscribed to all main objects in activeCollab, or to be more precise to <{term}>Tasks<{/term}>, <{term}>Milestones<{/term}>, <{term}>Discussions<{/term}>, <{term}>Files<{/term}> and <{term}>Notebooks<{/term}>. You can subscribe your self, or someone else can do that for you. You can also **un-subscribe at any time**.

All important updates on objects that you are subscribed to will be delivered to you as <{term}>Notifications<{/term}>. You can choose how exactly will with to have Notifications delivered in <{page name="news"}>this article<{/page}>. 

activeCollab will sends out Notifications to you when:

- **A new object is created**. A Notification is sent to assignees of Tasks, Subtasks and Milestones, or to the initial group of subscribers if an object does not have assignees (Discussions, Notebooks, Files, etc). The Project Leader is also subscribed and notified by default.
- **A Task, Subtask or Milestone are completed or reopened**. All subscribers except the person who completed or reopened the assignment will be notified.
- **A new version of a File, Text Document or Notebook Page is posted**. All subscribers except the person who posted the new version are notified.
- **A new comment is posted**. All subscribers except the person who made the comment are notified. The comment author is also automatically subscribed to future notifications if he or she was not subscribed before posting the comment.

<{sub}>Managing your Subscriptions<{/sub}>

You can see the list of all object where you are subscribed if you click the <{option}>Envelope<{/option}> icon in the <{term}>Project Overview<{/term}> page.

To stop receiving Notifications from objects that you are no longer interested in, select them from the list and click <{option}>Unsubscribe<{/option}> button.

Another way to unsubscribe is to visit the page where that particular object is and to click the <{option}>Envelope<{/option}> icon. If you wish to subscribe again, you should repeat the action.

<{sub}>How to Subscribe Other Users?<{/sub}>

To inform your team about the new object that you are starting, subscribe them all to it. All new object forms in activeCollab have option to choose the initial list of subscribers, who will be notified about that.

In case you have missed to do that on the start you can set the list of subscribers by using <{option}>Manage Subscriptions<{/option}> option. You will be able to filter subscribers here, add new ones, or remove existing. If you no longer wish to notify the about events on this object, you can use <{option}>Unsubscribe Everyone<{/option}> button and remove all the subscriptions.
