+## Notifications for Your Lesson Repository
+
+As a collaborator with edit access to the repository, your notification settings on the lesson repository should already be set to `All Activity`. 
+
+You can review the level of communication you will be receiving about activities in the repository by clicking the 'Unwatch' button on your repository homepage: the dropdown menu will show you a range of options for the different kinds of events that you will be notified about on the repository. 'All Activity' is a great choice to begin with because it will ensure that you do not miss out on any changes/events.
+
+As the time progresses, feel free to revisit this setting to adjust the level of notifications to the right level for you.
