Frequently asked questions
What do I fill in?
The page address and the part of the page to watch. You pick the part on the page itself, then give it a name.
What does the notice say?
It gives the site, what the watched part says now, what it said before and the page address.
Does the tab have to stay open?
Yes. The part is watched in an open tab on your computer, so Minda has to keep running too.
Can it watch a page when Minda is closed?
No. For a public page, use the template called Tell me when a page changes, which does not need Minda open.
Does it click or change anything on the page?
No. It only reads the part you picked and posts a notice.
