Getting there

What's new gives you a snapshot of recent activity in the workspace. What's new can be accessed through the navigation menu at the top of any page, as shown here:

When the Email Notification setting is turned on, workspace members periodically receive automatic notifications of what's new via email. See Email notification of recent changes.

Overview

What's new lists every change to any page in the workspace. Each change lists

• the name of the page changed
• the person who changed it
• the date and time they changed it
• and the number of revisions.

By default, What's new lists entries in reverse chronological order. The most recent changes appear at the top, and the least recent at the bottom. However, you can re-sort the listing with the Sort by drop-down box on the right-hand side of the list title bar. See Sorting for more information. If you wish to see more of what is presented in the pages, you can click Summaries in the title box and it will display several lines of text from the page, as well as the title. For more information on this toggle visit Titles - Summaries Toggle .

Also by default, only the pages with changes made in the last week are shown. You can change this time period by selecting Settings to the right in the blue bar at the top of the page. Then, under Preferences in the sidebar at the left select What's New. From here, you may select, via a drop-down box what time period you wish your What's New list to cover.

The pages listed in What's New are only the pages with changes during the defined time period.
You can see all pages in the workpace by clicking on the All Pages tab at the top.

Changes in another workspace

You can keep up with What's new in a different workspace by viewing a list of those changes in a page. All you have to do is write

just a list: {recent-changes <workspace>}
full contents: {recent-changes-full <workspace>}

where <workspace> is the name of the workspace to watch. If you omit <workspace>, the current workspace's changes will be displayed. For example, to see the changes in the Customer Exchange, write

just a list: {recent-changes exchange}
full contents: {recent-changes-full exchange}
