Watchers get an email for every edit, not a digest
Editing a busy page pings every watcher on every change, training people to ignore Confluence mail.
The problem
Confluence notifies watchers on each edit. A page under active work floods inboxes, and people stop reading notifications that matter.
Who runs into this
Teams collaborating on living documents with many watchers.
How Patcher fixes it
Patcher collapses edit notifications into a digest, so watchers get a concise summary instead of a flood — without going dark.

The “official” suggestion in the docs doesn’t actually work. We need a real fix.
459Workaround sort of helps, but it comes back the moment someone else edits the issue.
116We wrote a workaround script, but it breaks on every Jira update. Not sustainable.
