text: Q:
  
  Does editing a question give an alert?
  
  If I edit a question, do the users who previously viewed the question get an alert/notification? 
  
  A:
  
  The only user who always gets a notification is the original author of the post - but only if the edit is significant or has been made to a code block.
  Any user who has bookmarked (marked as favourite) the question will see a "recent activity" notification on their profile, but nothing appears in their inbox.
  The only way other editors would know is if they were actively monitoring the post themselves.
  
  A:
  
  No, they don't. Only the author of the question will get a notification (if the change is substantial enough; correcting a spelling error usually isn't).
