"Update" vs "Update & Notify" settings in Confluence
Asked by Andrew _Zim_ Zimmerman _Appfire_:

Hi there! We use Confluence Server 6.12.2 at my organization. When users edit a page, at the bottom of the page they have the opportunity to "Update" or "Update \& Notify."

"Update" is the highlighted option, as shown in this screenshot below.

A few users have reported not getting updates to pages they are expecting to (and watching) because the page editor had pressed "Update" instead of "Update \& Notify."  

As such, is there a way to change the highlighted button to "Update \& Notify," so that more users are likely to choose that option? Thanks!

body: Hi Andrew. It sounds like possibly you are using the 'No Email Storm' add-on on your Confluence site? Their buttons use the wording you mention which is different than the vanilla Confluence buttons. If you are using that add-on, you can navigate to the settings page for the add-on, and it lets you select the default button - so you can switch it over to 'Update \& Notify'

The settings page is here: https://*yoursitename*/admin/plugins/no-email-storm-settings/show-settings.action

Please reply if you are not using any add-ons. Thanks and Happy New Year!

body: Hi,

Is there a possibility to implement this on a particular space alone? Don't want to implement it for all spaces in our server instance.

Thanks \& Regards,

Janaki

body: Hi Janaki,

As far as I can tell, you cannot limit the implementation to only a few Spaces. However, you can enable activation of the add-on to specific user groups.

You may want to double check with the Stilt Soft folks to confirm your question about Space activation of the app: <https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/doc/Contact+Us>

Best,

body: In Confluence Administration -\> Custom HTML. If you put this into the "At end of the BODY" section it will reverse the primary button color.

```
<script type="text/javascript">function setUpdateButtonPrimary(){ setTimeout(function () {  AJS.$('#rte-button-publish').removeClass('aui-button-primary');  AJS.$('#save-and-notify').addClass('aui-button-primary'); } , 200);}AJS.toInit(function () {    //Launch if edit button clicked    AJS.bind('init.rte', function (a, e) {        AJS.$(e.editor.getWin().parent.document).bind("mode-changed", function () {            setUpdateButtonPrimary()        });        AJS.$(e.editor.getWin().parent.document).bind("iframeAppended", function () {            setUpdateButtonPrimary()        });    });});</script>
```

Thanks for the script. How to implement this script on a particular space alone please ?

In which part of the code should you put the key of the space in question ?

Regards,

Marina
