Tip of the Month: How do I know when changes have been made to an article?
- When you edit or make changes to an article, including sign off for articles you are reviewing, the article page is automatically added to your Watchlist
- When an article on your Watchlist is modified, you will receive an email notification from eyewiki@aao.org

- Alternatively, use the "View History" link on any article menu bar to compare selected revisions
- Find other great tips and FAQs on the Getting Started page
