Does promoting an article send a notification to users that follow it?

Question

When I promote an article, does the action send a notification to end users that follow the article or section it is published in? How do I notify users of updates to an article?

Answer 

No, promoting an article will not notify its followers that the article was updated. If you would like to notify your users of changes to an article, there are a few ways to do so:

• Add a comment to the article summarizing the updates you made. Article subscribers will always be notified of new comments added to the article.
• Revert the article to draft mode and update it, then republish it. This will only notify users who subscribe to the section you're publishing the article in.
