Modern Pages Comments and Notifications
Good Day
On the SharePoint April 2019 Blog https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-SharePoint-Blog/April-2019-Updates-to-SharePoint-News/ba-p/481718 we noticed improvements coming to notifications on modern pages (i.e News pages) as users add a comment or make a reply or like a response. This is great since until now only users who are specifically @mentioned get an email notification. Our business stakeholders have been asking for notifications via email to be triggered on other actions beyond someone @mentioning someone else and in having the owners of the site get the notification. Site owners would like to know when someone is posting a comment to their site pages or replying to a comment even liking a response. On the article it states "SharePoint Authors" as the one's who will be eligible for the email notifications. Does someone know who qualifies as a "SharePoint Author"? Does it mean the person who created the page or the person who last modified the page or ideally will this be those user part of the site Owners Group? Thanks!
- It's who creates the pages and or is set as the Page author, it defaults to you, but you can change it in the header, so whoever that person is, will get the notifications.
hiChrisWebbTech are you sure?
I've tried to change the displayAuthor (the one displayed on the header) but the comment notification keeps arriving only to the author in the CreatedBy field, which you can see in the pages view,a field you cannot modify easily.
this is really bad, as it's very common that the first author of a page could change job
i've opened a specific request for thisDit you recieve an update on this issue, Jacopo ALABISO? I'm facing the same problem...
ChrisWebbTech Thank you
