For me, the option of choosing whether to send a notification or not when I update an article is a nice to have, not strictly necessary.

That said, it would be nice to have.  :)

We've come up with a work-around until we have this feature - we're going to ask our content creators to add a comment to the article, briefly summarizing what changed.  This will trigger the notification, and give readers a general idea of what to look for.

Are there any plans to update the 'Follow' feature to include notifications when an article changes?

Could I get an update on this?

The workaround (setting the article to draft, editing, and then removing the draft flag) would work for our content providers, it's not likely that I'll be able to get our content readers to follow the section.  Our audience is large, global, and we are hiring all the time.  

They will see the 'follow' button, and click on it at the article level, expecting to see updates, like I did when I first saw it....  :)
