What does Follow mean in the knowledge base or the community?

What it means to follow content

For the help center and the community, Follow means subscribe. When you follow a community post, topic, article, or section, you receive an email notification when updates occur. The help center must be active:

For articles and posts, you receive email notifications for new articles or posts only in the section or topic

For articles or posts and comments, you receive email notifications for all new articles or posts in the section or topic and any new comments

You'll receive email notifications for any new comments on the article or post. However, you won't receive notifications when someone updates the article or post.

Tip: To notify followers of updates within the body of the article, add a comment to the article to inform followers about new content.
