SharePoint allert

How is it possible to advise anyone on a groups about a file that it’s modified or to ask him to open it? Is it the email the right tools? Any other idea?

No I don’t. But what will happen if we cooperate in 10 people on that file? I could request the feedback from different people. What do you think. So it could be interesting that with right button on the file could have a request feedback from or allert to

    Not sure to understand what you want to achieve...

    Anyway, a Flow gives you a lot of possibilities: IMHO it is the most flexible tool you can use OOTB.

      If I ve on my Group 25 people and today I would like to ask to member A to give me a feedback about the new version of the file, and tomorrow I need to ask it to another member of the Group I have to setup 2 flow. Is it right?

        If you want, you can trigger a Flow when a condition is satisfied.

        Which is the condition for alerting a member and not the others?

    I would recommend sticking with the "Alert Me" feature. If you're using modern Team sites, which are group-based, you can have alerts sent to members of that group site, or you can manually choose people to be notified if you don't use group-based sites.

      Groups could be integreted on teams?

      Can we continue to use the onenote and onedrive used for Groups?

        I should probably toss out "group" from my vocabulary and leave it at "teams." I've not really used the team notification option, I just noticed that it was an option in addition to users, some DLs, and SGs when choosing who alerts go to.
