    2. Select the role for which you want to configure a subscription.

    • Select one of the available shared subscriptions.
    • Create a new shared subscription.

    For information about shared subscriptions, see Configure a shared subscription.

    1. Click add_circle_outline. A selection field appears.
    2. Select an editor or role to receive this automatic subscription. If you select a role, all editors in that role receive the automatic notifications.
    3. Repeat steps a–b to add additional editors and roles.
  6. Click Save.
