# Get Notified for New Files and Comments

Receive notifications when new files are uploaded and changed in your Kontainer; and when new comments are made on a file as part of your approval workflow. Read more on commenting and approving [**here**](https://helpdesk.kontainer.com/article/comment-on-files/).

## Enable notifications

Notifications are available for the two user types that are linked to unique e-mail addresses:

- Administrators
- Normal users

Logged in as an administrator or normal user, click the ***profile icon*** in the bottom left corner and select ***edit profile***.

In the profile settings, enable ***notify on new files and comment**s*.

Select a frequency:

- Immediately
- Daily
- Weekly

Select source folders:

- All folders
- Selected folders

### Notify others

As an admin user, you can also enable notifications for other normal users.

Go to ***Access → User access*** and choose a normal user by clicking on her name.

As described above, you can enable notifications for the normal user under their ***profile*** settings, selecting a frequency and source folders again.
