Subscribe to Changes

Note: Not available for Master Administrator.

Keep track of changes made to the files and folders on BIMcloud by subscribing to these items in the Projects page of BIMcloud Manager. “Folder” can be a regular folder, a BIMcloud Project, or a Library folder.

Once you subscribe to a file or folder, you get a notification whenever that file is modified, or (for a folder) whenever any of its files are modified. (See What counts as a Modification?)

Changes to Teamwork Projects or Libraries are not tracked on BIMcloud, and you cannot subscribe to these items.

How to Subscribe or Unsubscribe

On the Projects page of BIMcloud Manager:

Select the file(s) or folder(s), then click the bell icon.

Click to Subscribe

You are now subscribed.

You can only subscribe to an item if you have permission to view it. All such items have a bell icon.

Note: If you can see a folder only because of traversing, you cannot subscribe to that folder - you must have explicit view permissions.

Subscription Activated

To unsubscribe, just click the bell again.

Subscriptions are for personal use: no one else can see what you have subscribed to. Managers cannot centrally create subscriptions for users.

Note: Signing up for Change subscriptions is different from enabling System Notifications, which alert you to issues related to the functioning of the BIMcloud servers. See System Notifications

What counts as a Modification?

For the items you subscribed to, you receive a notification whenever its Modified date has changed.

For a subscribed file, the following events will trigger a notification:

Rollback file

Move

Upload new version

Rename

For a subscribed folder, the following events will trigger a notification:

Upload new file

Upload new version of a file

Move existing file into this folder

Move existing folder (which is not empty) into this folder

Move this folder elsewhere

Note: If the folder is moved to a location where the subscribed user has no view permissions, he/she will not see the notification until view permissions are granted.

Rename

Rollback folder (Exception: no change is logged if the Rollback only results in deleted files, and no existing file is replaced.)
