# Collaboration

Comind.work helps teams stay informed and coordinate work on records through followers and read/unread tracking.

## Followers[​](#followers "Direct link to Followers")

Subscribe to a record to receive notifications when it changes. Followers are notified about any change to the record unless the person making the change selects "do not notify."

To follow a record, open it and click the **Follow** button. You can unfollow at any time.

Followers are visible on the record form, showing who is watching the record.

Followers receive both in-app notifications and email notifications.

## Read/unread tracking[​](#readunread-tracking "Direct link to Read/unread tracking")

Records and comments have read/unread status to help you track what needs your attention.

### Read/unread markers in records and comments[​](#readunread-markers-in-records-and-comments "Direct link to Read/unread markers in records and comments")

* **Unread markers** appear on records and comments you have not yet viewed
* Records become **read** when you open them
* New comments on a record you have already read mark it as **unread** again
* You can manually toggle the read/unread status

### Unread indicators in list views[​](#unread-indicators-in-list-views "Direct link to Unread indicators in list views")

Unread records are visually distinguished in list views. Hover over a list name in the sidebar to see a tooltip with the total and unread record counts.

Unread records appear with **bold text** and a wider left-side border on the table row.

## Notifications[​](#notifications "Direct link to Notifications")

Comind.work sends [notifications](/user-guide/common-features/notifications.md) based on your role and subscription:

* **In-app notifications** - appear in the notification panel
* **Email notifications** - configurable per user

## Related[​](#related "Direct link to Related")
