This page shows how to subscribe to and unsubscribe from an
issue
in Google Issue Tracker.
You can subscribe to an issue by:
- Adding your email address, the email address of another user, or a mailing
list to the issue's
CC
field
- Checking the
CC Me
option when you comment on an issue
- Starring the issue
Subscribing via the CC field
Email addresses in the
CC
field receive
notifications
when a change is made to the issue until you
unsubscribe
. You
must have
Edit Issues
permissions
for the
component that contains the issue in order to add an email address to the
CC
field.
To subscribe to an issue via the
CC
field:
Open Issue Tracker
in your web browser.
Navigate to the issue or
search
for it.
Click
CC me
in the right-hand
Issue Fields
panel to add your own
email address or click
Add
and enter another email address.
By default, commenting on an issue does not cause you to receive
notifications
. If you want to
subscribe to an issue when you comment on it, check the
CC Me
option below
the comment box.
To subscribe to an issue when you comment on it:
Open Issue Tracker
in your web browser.
Navigate to the issue or
search
for it.
Add your comment to the "Add a comment" box.
Below the comment box, check the
CC Me
option.
This adds your email address to the
CC
field. You receive notifications
when a change is made to the issue until you
unsubscribe
.
Subscribing by starring an issue
Another way of subscribing to an issue is by starring it. When you star an
issue, you receive email notifications, but your email address does not
appear in the
CC
field, and it is not visible to other users.
Starring an issue also upvotes it, which can be an important signal for
prioritization.
To star an issue:
Open Issue Tracker
in your web browser.
Navigate to the issue or
search
for it.
Click the star icon next to the issue title.
Click
Starred By Me
in the left-hand navigation to view a list of
starred issues:
Unsubscribing from an issue
If you only have

other users or mailing lists.
To unsubscribe from an issue:
Open Issue Tracker
in your web browser.
Navigate to the issue.
Click the
X
icon in the right-hand
Issue Fields
panel next to the
email address you want to remove. You can also click
Un-CC Me
to
remove your own email address. If you only have
View and Comment
permissions, the
Un-CC Me
link is the only option that appears.
