Description
**Problem**
CodiMD currently does not notify users when a document is updated. In collaborative workflows, this makes it easy to miss important changes, forcing users to manually check documents or rely on external communication tools.
**Proposed Solution**
Implement configurable notifications that are triggered when a document is modified. Notifications should respect user permissions and preferences.
**Possible delivery channels:**
- In-app notifications
- Email notifications
- Webhooks (for integrations such as Slack, Mattermost, etc.)
**Proposed Features**
- Subscribe/unsubscribe to notifications per document
- Default notification settings for document owners
- Configurable triggers (any edit, major changes only, metadata changes)
**Use Cases**
- Team members are notified when shared notes are updated
- Contributors are alerted when specifications change
- Reviewers know when a document has been edited and is ready for review
**Additional Context**
This feature would improve collaboration efficiency and make CodiMD more suitable for team-based documentation workflows.
