How to use alerts in SharePoint online to stay informed
Alerts can be useful to let you know when a document has been updated, for instance, if a care plan is updated, you can ask SharePoint to send you an email to tell you it has happened.
To set an alert on a file:
-
Navigate to the SharePoint site.
-
Find the file you want to be alerted about.
- Click on the tick next to the file
- Click on the three dots and click Alert Me. You will see a window Alert me when items change.
-
Update the options eg Alert Title if required.
- Click OK.
- You will then receive an email to confirm when the alert is running.
- Each time the document is updated, you will receive an alert.
