Guides and sharing

Tell people
when a guide changes.

When you publish a new version, everyone who follows the guide gets one email that says what changed.

Updated September 2026 · Requires macOS 26.4 or later

Who gets the email

  • Anyone who followed the guide from its share page with Notify me of updates and confirmed their address.
  • People you add in Who follows this SOP?, once they confirm the email we send them.
  • Departments you choose, for members whose email address is verified.
  • Team members the guide is assigned to through your team’s assignment rules.

One email per person

Someone who is reached in more than one way, for example a follower who is also assigned the guide, gets a single email.

Members without a verified email address cannot be emailed. AutoEditz counts them and shows the number before you publish.

Publish and check the status

  1. Set up followers

    Open the guide in AutoEditz and choose Who follows this SOP? to add people or departments.

  2. Publish the new version

    Publishing confirms who will be notified before anything is sent.

  3. Read the status

    After publishing, the status line shows how many notifications were queued, how many people are still confirming, and how many could not be emailed.

What the email says

The subject names the guide and its new version. The email lists the steps that changed and links to the guide.

When the video is replaced with a new recording, followers get a separate email with a link to the new video.

Queued means saved for delivery, not yet delivered. Emails usually go out within a few minutes; very large audiences are sent in batches.

Acknowledging changes

If a guide is assigned to you, a new version marks your earlier acknowledgment as out of date. Your email links to My SOPs, where you review the update and choose Mark as read.

Followers who are not assigned the guide get a link to the guide itself and have nothing to acknowledge.

Unsubscribe

Every email has an Unsubscribe link. It stops change emails for that guide from every source, including assignment, and the guide owner cannot turn it back on for you.

To get updates again, follow the guide from its share page and confirm your address.

FAQ

Does queued mean the email was delivered?

No. Queued means the notification is saved for delivery. AutoEditz never reports an email as delivered when it was only queued.

What if email delivery is unavailable?

The status says so. Notifications stay saved and send automatically if delivery is restored within 23 hours.

Can I stop getting emails for one guide only?

Yes. Unsubscribe applies to the guide the email was about.
