Background notifications for Published sites

Background notifications alert device users to new content or updated content in Published sites even when Docs@Work is not running in the foreground. However, the user must be signed into Sites. Notifications allow users to always be aware of any changes in documents and have the latest versions of a document on their device.

Docs@Work checks for updates at the update interval set for the Published site and provides background notification if there are any changes. If other processes are running on the device at the update interval, the check by Docs@Work for updates might be delayed. Internet connectivity is required for Docs@Work to check for Published site updates.
