How to unfollow a Paper doc

  1. Open the Paper doc you'd like to unfollow. 
  2. Click the ... (ellipsis) icon.
  3. Uncheck Following. 


To change your Paper notification preferences:

  1. Click the bell (Notifications) icon in the upper right corner of a Paper doc.
  2. Click the gear icon next to Mark all as read.
  3. In the Paper section at the bottom, uncheck any notifications you want to unsubcribe from.
