Follow A Document Or Website In Your Organization

This article is about how to follow a document or a website in your organization.

Follow a document or a Website to see notifications or updates in your news feed when any teammate updates the document or share it with others, and also keep the document updated in a followed document list. Follow a site to keep it accessible in a list of the followed sites and to see site feed activity in your own news feed.

How to follow a document

As we have learned before, you can follow a document, but you need a permission to access it. You’re granted this permission when another person shares the document with you. Typically, you can follow the documents in a shared manner with everyone's folder.

To follow a document

  • Open or Browse to a document library on a SharePoint or Office 365 team site.
  • To browse your personal library, click OneDrive.
  • Click Library or folder that contains the documents or the files which we want to follow.
  • Click Ellipses next to the document title and select the following option from the dropdown.
