Following a task is a great way to stay updated with all the task changes and comments. If you follow a task, you can see its updates in the Activity Stream.

You can easily follow or unfollow and invite other teammates as follower to any particular task. As soon as a user makes any change in a task he/she is automatically added to the task followers' list by default functionality.
