Documentation
# Website Change Monitoring
Watch any URL for changes, powered by changedetection.io.
## Setup
Open the app, click `+ New watch`, paste a URL, optionally narrow to a CSS selector or XPath, set a recheck interval. Diff history is kept under `/datastore/`.
## Notifications
Set up notification URLs (email/Slack/Discord/webhook/MS Teams/Telegram/Mattermost…) under Settings → Notifications. `BASE_URL` is auto-set to the public URL by the entrypoint so notification links resolve correctly.
## JS-rendered pages
The built-in fetcher handles plain HTML. For SPA pages that require JavaScript, the upstream project supports a sidecar Playwright browser container — not bundled here; if you need it, add an external watcher.
## Theme / appearance
changedetection.io has its own light/dark toggle.
