Configure Comment Notifications Recipients

NOTE: Comment notification settings are configured at the organization level, meaning they are the default settings for ALL Higher Logic Thrive Community (Thrive Community) Workspaces.

1. On the Group Defaults page, scroll down to the Document Settings area. There are two settings that control the comment notification settings for your Workspace groups: Public Comment Notifications and Member Comment Notifications. These two settings allow you to set unique comment notification settings for comments made by members and non-members alike. For each, you can decide whether to send email notifications to:

1. ALL members of the document's owning group,
2. ONLY the Document Submitter (i.e., the person who uploaded the document),
3. ONLY the Technical Contact,
4. Or any combination thereof.

NOTE: Technical Contacts are an optional contact that can be associated to a given document. This contact can be enabled/disabled at the organization level on the Group Settings page.
