Similar/related > [@\[DONE\] "Watcher" of an Entity](https://community.fibery.io/t/watcher-of-an-entity-use-the-assignment-extension/563): > > Hi guys, I was interested in creating the equivalent functionality of “watcher” that is offered by a lot of PM apps around their tasks and entities. This is a user who is “subscribed” to an entity’s activity - so they are informed when any status changes, fields are adjusted, comments are made, and so forth. Can I use the “assignment” extension to create this functionality? Or would I need to do this another way if that extension needs to be reserved for only actual assignees? Thanks guys! --- _[View the full topic](https://community.fibery.io/t/follow-document-updates-without-being-an-author-or-collaborator/4789)._
