How do I notify a user that a shared document has been updated

Question

I have a file shared with a group of 5 users. I actively work on it with 1 of them, the others are for final review. If I make a change in the file is there anyway, while in the file, to notify/alert this one user that I made some changes. Assuming that user has not set the file up to receive notifications when changed.

I would thing this would be a common feature, but I can find nothing to do it with.

Answer 1

Based on your post, I understand that you want to the user can receive notification when the file been modified.

You could set alert in the document library. When you modify the file, email will be sent to the user.

1.Click three dots -> Alert me.

2.In the Send Alerts To section, fill in the user account.

To track changes in the file:

1.Click the File tab -> Info -> Version History.

2.In the review tab -> Track changes.
