During the outage, our service desk received numerous tickets inquiring about the status of the outage and where these organizations can find the latest update regarding the service. You would need to ask the owner of the shared file to set the alert up in their OneDrive and have them add you to the “Send alerts to” list.Last week Microsoft observed another Microsoft 365 service outage leaving many of our clients unable to access multiple, if not all the Microsoft 365 services. One final note: you can only set alerts on shared documents in your own OneDrive, not on a document that has been shared with you by another person. You can have the alert notify you immediately whenever someone makes a change to the shared file, or you can schedule a daily or weekly summary instead. Step 5: Set up your alert according to your notification preferences. Step 4: Click the Alert Me icon and choose “Set alert on this document” from the drop-down menu: In the Files view, you will now see an “Alert Me” icon: Step 3: Select the shared file you want to set the alert up for and then click on the “Files” tab at the top left. Simply clicking it will change the setting from Off to On: Step 2: Click on the Options cog icon at the top right and click on the “Ribbon” option. Step 1: Log into your OneDrive and look down at the bottom left of the window for the “Return to Classic OneDrive” link, then click it: If the OneDrive view is still stuck in Classic mode, you might need to clear your web browser’s cache. To go back to the modern view, log out of Office 365, quit your web browser and then reopen it and log back into Office 365.

Unfortunately, this feature is hidden in the modern OneDrive view, so you need to switch to the “classic” view just long enough to set up your alert. If you are collaborating with others on a shared file in your OneDrive storage account and you would like to know when someone has made a change, you can set up an alert schedule that will notify you when any edits are made to the document. Get notified whenever your collaborators make changes to a shared document in OneDrive
