Watch Issues
YouTrack lets you watch the issues you are interested in. You can also set another user as a watcher for an issue. When notifications are enabled for your YouTrack server, you and other users are automatically notified when changes are applied to the issues you are watching.
You and other users can specify which changes you want to receive notifications for on the Notifications tab of your YouTrack profile. For more information, see Notifications.
To watch an issue:
From the Issues list, click the
star icon to the left of the issue ID.
In single issue view, click the
star icon to the left of the issue summary. Alternatively, you can click the star icon on the right side of the screen above the project fields.
Open the Apply Command dialog and enter the

Once you have added yourself to the list of watchers, you receive update notifications according to the subscription settings for the Star tag in your YouTrack profile. To learn more, see Subscribe to Updates for the Issues You Watch.
Add Other Users as Watchers
Sometimes when you create, update, or even view an issue, you realize that the topic it addresses may be important to other members of your organization or project team. If you have been granted the Update Watchers permission in the project that this issue belongs to, you can add other users to the list of watchers.
