      Hello,

      It happens to me a lot when I am editing or adding a page, that at the same time I think of a colleague that I want to share the page with. So that he/she sees that I've added a page or that I wanted him to know about this (and future information)

      Therefore it would come in handy that in Edit-modus, you can add a watcher, so when you save the page, the colleague gets informed instantly.

      I think it's the best place to add it next to the icons from label/restriction. I think an extra icon, in green or someting, would definately be clear to see.

      Hope you can have a look into this

            In addition to the SHARE, you could also MENTION someone in the page, and they will receive an email notification (but not be a true 'watcher')

            Hi v.valkestijn. I voted and watched when I commented above. Thanks for creating this. I was surprised to find that you had done so only a couple days before I came looking for it.

            Additionally it would be nice to easily be able to see who the watchers are while editing a page. Sometimes I'm not sure if I want to notify all watchers or not on an edit. Often that decision is dependent on who the watchers are. To find out currently, I generally open the page in another tab and view the watchers. It would be great if I didn't have to change context like that to find out. Thanks.
