Turning off email notifications about new comments in one certain file

Hi All!

 

I found a solution to turn off all email notifications on new comments in my shared files (through settings on SharePoint), but it doesn't really solve my problem.

In project files I work on with my colleagues, email notifications are helpful for monitoring workflows and streamline the process. At the same time, I'm an owner of yearly excel files shared with a big team in order to monitor the work on all clients and automate the visualization of it, but it gets commented on a lot and I don't need to get all of that on my Outlook. Is there any way to turn off email notifications about new comments for just one file without turning them off on all my shared files?

 

Kind regards,

Jakub Banasik

    Unfortunately, I don't see any options related to comments in there, only an option to change the immediate alerts into a weekly email summary (might use it if I didn't find any other options, it's significantly less spam :D). Either way, thanks for your reply!

  • Try this:

     

    1. Access the Document Library: Go to the SharePoint site where your file is stored.
    2. Select the File: Find the specific file you want to modify and click on it.
    3. Manage Alerts: Click on the three-dot menu (ellipsis) next to the file name, and select Alert Me.
    4. Modify Alert Settings: In the Alert Me settings, you can customize the notifications. Look for the option related to comments and turn it off.

      Hi Kidd_Ip 
      Same issue here.
      I do not have the menu to turn it off. When I remove my User name from the alert list, it shows an error.

      Where is the turn off button exactly ?
