# Watching a Request/Scaffold or Activity

Users can "watch" a Request or Scaffold which allows them to receive notifications via the app whenever a change is made on a Request or Scaffold. A change could be a Request or Scaffold moving from one status to another, or another user updating the details, such as who the Request or Scaffold is assigned to.

**Watch Items**

1. On the **Map,** **Requests, or Scaffolds** screen, navigate to the scaffold or request you wish to "watch".
2. Click on the request or scaffold and on the right, click the eye icon.
3. Select either **Watch all Changes** or **Watch Status Changes** only. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/watch%20scaffold%20new(1).gif)

You will receive notifications for all changes, including status changes, or just status changes depending on the option you selected above. These notifications can be viewed in the **Notifications** screen.

> **Note: For more information on using Notifications, go to the** [**Notifications**](/v1/docs/working-with-notifications-desktop) **section.**

**Un-watch Items**

To un-watch items

1. From the **Map** screen, go to the **Request** or **Scaffold pin** on the map **Note: You can access the Request or Scaffold from the Requests or Scaffolds screen respectively. If you want to un-watch an Activity, go to the Activities screen.**
2. Click the eye icon, and select **Stop Watching**
