Notifications
No more surprises: watch specific pages for changes that impact your projects
From tutorial pages to API references, get notifications for the latest developments on MDN.
When you watch a page, MDN Plus sends you notifications for significant events relating to that page. For example, you’ll receive a notification when there’s a major update to the content of the page.
If a page has a browser compatibility table, then you can subscribe to notifications for web platform feature events such as:
- New and upcoming browser support
- Removed browser support
- New subfeatures
- Fixes to missing support data
Getting started
To start getting notifications, watch your first page. To do this, visit a page, then click Watch → Watch page.
When there are notifications, an indicator appears in the user menu on any MDN page or in the notifications list.

Stop watching a page
You can stop watching a page in two ways:
-
Visit the page you want to stop watching, then click Watching → Unwatch.

Go to Notifications -> Watch list, and use the ⋮ menu to the right of
the watched page and select Unwatch. Your watched page has now been

revert this action.
You can also Bulk unwatch by checking the box on top of your Watched list and then clicking Unwatch
About your notifications inbox
The user menu on MDN pages shows a dot when you have notifications. You can review all of your read, unread, and starred notifications from the notifications list. Only the most-recent 5,000 notifications are kept in your inbox. Older notifications may be deleted.
