+    Notifications require correct [email configuration](../../start/config/#email-settings)
+
+!!! warning "Valid Email Address"
+    Each user must have a valid email address associated with their account to receive email notifications
+
+### Low Stock Notification
+
+If the *minimum stock* threshold is set for a *Part*, then a "low stock" notification can be generated when the stock level for that part falls below the configured level.
+
+Any users who are subscribed to notifications for the part in question will receive a low stock notification via email.
+
+### Build Order Notification
+
+When a new [Build Order](../../build/build/) is created, the InvenTree software checks to see if any of the parts required to complete the order are low on stock.
+
+If there are any parts with low stock, a notification is generated for any users subscribed to notifications for the part being built.
+
+## Subscribing to Notifications
+
+Users can "subscribe" to either a *Part* or *Part Category*, to receive notifications.
+
+### Part
+
+When subscribed to a *Part*, a user will receive notifications when events occur which pertain to:
+
+- That particular part
+- Any parts which are variants of that part
+
+If a user is subscribed to a particular part, it will be indicated as shown below:
+
+{% with id="part_sub_on", url="part/part_subscribe_on.png", description="Subscribe" %}
+{% include 'img.html' %}
+{% endwith %}
+
+If the user is not subscibed, the subscription icon is greyed out, as shown here:
+
+{% with id="part_sub_off", url="part/part_subscribe_off.png", description="Subscribe" %}
+{% include 'img.html' %}
+{% endwith %}
+
+Clicking on this icon will toggle the subscription status for this part.
+
+### Part Category
+
+When subscribed to a *Part Category*, a user will receive notifications when particular events occur which pertain to:
+
+- That particular category
+- Any sub-categories at lower levels
+- Any parts contained in the category
+- Any parts contained in the lower level categories
+
+Subscribing to a part category operates in the same manner as for a part - simply click on the notification icon:
+
+{% with id="cat_sub", url="part/category_notification.png", description="Subscribe to part category" %}
+{% include 'img.html' %}
+{% endwith %}
+
+## Subscription List
+
+Users can view the parts and categories they are subscribed to on the InvenTree home page:
+
+{% with id="cat_subs", url="part/cat_subs.png", description="Category subscription list" %}

 ### Build Order Allocation
 
 PR [#2094](https://github.com/inventree/InvenTree/pull/2094) represents a significant improvement to the worflow for allocating stock items against a build order.

+
+### Low Stock Notifications
+
+PR [#2208](https://github.com/inventree/InvenTree/pull/2208) provides notification emails when the stock level for a particular part falls below the configured "minimum stock" threshold for that part. An email is automatically sent to any users who are subscribed to notifications for that part.
+
+### Stock Item Forms
+
+PR [#2198](https://github.com/inventree/InvenTree/pull/2198) provides a major refactor of stock item forms, for creating and editing stock items. These forms have been migrated to the REST API, providing a much more responsive user experience.
