Staying updated about your data catalog

To help you stay on top of what's happening with your data and in your organization, data.world provides a variety of notifications in different formats to various users. To make the notification process more transparent, we have the following tables which lay out the relationships between user and organization permissions, activity in the platform, and notification formats.

The application provides an easy way to unsubscribe from email notifications that you get from data.world.
