# Filter Watching **Bug Watcher** allows you to watch issues matching your **filters**. If you want to precisely define the set of issues to follow, **create a filter** or select one of you faviourite filters and **start watching** it. If an issue that matches the filter you are watching is changed, you'll get notifications according to the [notification preferences](broken://pages/ZSyDTWUaUYYQxbBFVFLk) you set in the issue's project. {% hint style="info" %} **Example Use Case** You want to get notified of on changes made to issues with critical or blocker priority affecting a component. Instead of setting yourself a watcher of all such issues, you can **create a filter** and **start watching** it. As a result, you will get notified upon **all issues matching the filter**. You will receive emails on the events that are configured in the Notification Scheme of the issue's project with Watchers as recipient. {% endhint %} ### How to do it? Got to Filters Click on **Watch** next to the Filters you want to watch in **Watch column.** ![](/files/dXg5ppqhrayjeq0XPP4T) {% hint style="warning" %} The issue events and method of notification (in-app or email) can be set in the [Project Watches tab.](/bug-watcher/user-guide/watch-projects-and-manage-watchers.md) {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
