Abstract: Techniques to control notifications for a collaboration platform. Content items being stored in the collaboration platform are shared amongst devices coupled to the collaboration platform. To determine whether to subscribe to notifications corresponding to a content item, a notification component of the collaboration platform examines the content item for characteristics of an indirect relationship between the shared content item and a user of a device of the devices. If the indirect relationship exists and warrants a subscription to the notifications, the notification component stores subscription data for the content item and in response to an occurrence of a subscribed activity, the notification component communicates a notification message to the user's device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Technology is disclosed herein that enhances collaboration notifications. In various implementations, a notification queue is maintained for internal notifications that are generated as editing events that occur in relation to a shared document. The notification queue is periodically queried to determine which of the notifications qualify at a given time to be communicated externally to a group of users. An individual notification is communicated when only a single internal notification qualifies. But when multiple internal notifications are present that qualify, then a group notification is sent. Thus, users are presented with fewer notifications than otherwise, improving the user experience and conserving communication and computing resources.
