By default, updating content will send notification emails to members who are following the content. Turning this feature on allows content creators to opt out of sending these notifications to followers when updating their published content. Opting out of sending notifications helps reduce unnecessary email notifications caused by making minor edits to your content.

Don't send notifications about edits
When editing content, you can find the Don't notify followers of this edit checkbox next to Save Changes. Check this box before saving your changes to avoid sending notifications.
