Watching projects

If you created a project, became a project member, or became a group member of a project, you are automatically "watching" that project.

You will receive notifications for all projects (and the components in the projects) you are watching.
The Watching dashboard, one of the default dashboards, displays all your watched projects.
Your watched projects is also a filter available on the Find page for project searches.

You can remove projects you are watching and add projects you previously stopped watching.

Note: The My Projects dashboard lists all your projects, including those you are no longer watching.
