Describe the feature you'd like

Up to v.26 I used an hack (custom theme function.php) to send notifications for page changes to users/groups when an tag:value is set.
So an mod/author can create content an notify specified readers.

Now (v.28) - and I really like to see notifications integrated - the users decide by themselve to which book/chapter/page they like to get notifications for.

I'ld really like to see the alternative also integrated : the content author should be able to set an update notification for specified books/chapters/pages to users/groups.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

It's already describet in the feature description.
The feature is more an "push" instead oft the new "pull" subscription/notification.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

No. The mentioned hack is not compatible with v.28 (or/and I'm not able to adjusti it)

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

  • I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundemental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

1 to 5 years
