Echo

BlueSpice replaces version 2 with the previous e-mail notification system "MailChanges" by "Notifications" (Echo) by MediaWiki. Notifications notifies users according to their individual settings about operations in the wiki.

Where can I find Notifications?

To view the notifications or change the settings for them, click on the letter icon  in the upper right corner of the wiki. The last changes will be displayed according to your settings. At the bottom left you will be redirected to an overview page, at the bottom right you find the link to the settings for Notfications.
