Email Post Changes

With Email Post Changes, you can keep track of changes being made to your site’s content by other users you’ve approved to work on your site. This guide will show you how to keep up to date with changes to your site’s posts and pages by approved users.

Sites with multiple users can take advantage of collaboration and teamwork.

Whenever a post or page is changed, you’ll receive an email similar to the following so you can see the changes that were made. This will include HTML added so that all changes can be reviewed. When using the default WordPress editor, it will show the code for each block.

The Email Post Changes feature will notify you of changes to existing posts or pages, but it isn’t meant to notify you about newly published posts. To receive emails about newly published posts, you can follow the blog instead.

To enable Email Post Changes, follow the steps for your site type:
