How can I turn off global notifications in Conflunece

[Mandi Chiancone]

While we are building our Confluence Space I do not want anyone that is a user to received email notifications that these pages are being created or being edited.  Is there a way to disable these notifications globally?

Thank You,

Amanda

Hi Amanda

there is a (free) plugin in atlassian marketplace "no emailstorm" https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/confluence.extra.noemailstorm/server/overview

this plugin adds a button while editing a page "save & notify". The "save" action won't send mails to your users

Best regards, Steffi

Hi Amanda,

In Confluence server you can disable the plugin that provides notifications, as described in How to globally disable e-mail notifications with page content

For Confluence Cloud, your options are:

• Remove the users' permission to view the space until after it is finished. (See Space Permissions Overview)
• Use Manage Watchers to make sure no one is watching the pages being changed.

I look forward to hearing what works for you.

Thanks,

Ann

Hi Ann - thank you for the suggestions.  I am going to use the 'Remove' permission until the space is complete and then manage watchers on a case-by-case scenario.
