I've taken a quick look and this question popped in Atlassian's support articles, I'd recommend reading their article on 'How to uncheck 'Notify watchers' check box on Confluence editor by default'. Please note this does refer to an older version of Confluence but hopefully will lead you to the right answers.
I hope this helps but if you have any other questions just ask away 😃
