Follow places, themes and datasets
Get a notification when new data appears for an area or theme you follow, when a dataset you follow changes or goes offline, and when new satellite scenes arrive.
Follow what you care about and OrionGIS tells you, in the notification bell, as soon as the data index sees a change.
#What you can follow
| Follow | Where | You hear about |
|---|---|---|
| An area | Follow new data on a place's page (for example Kenya), Follow this area on a project's overview (its datasets' extent), or draw one on What I follow | New datasets covering it. Optionally only one theme, and new satellite scenes from a collection you choose, under your cloud-cover limit |
| A theme | Follow new data on a theme's page | New datasets in that theme |
| A dataset | Follow updates on its page | The publisher updating it, it going offline, and it coming back |
| A portal | Follow the publisher on a discovered dataset's page | New datasets from that portal |
Open What I follow from your profile menu to see everything you follow, stop following, or follow a new area: move the map to the area, name it, and choose a theme or an imagery collection if you like.
#Notifications

- the area on a small map, and Open the area on a map (Data Explorer filtered to it)
- Stop following
A notification is marked read when you expand or open it; Mark all read clears the rest. Filter the list by All, Data, Account or Billing.
