# Overview

*Applies to: Patch My PC Publisher*

The **Alerts** tab in the Publisher provides visibility into publishing activity and operational events. Alerts are generated during [publishing syncs](https://docs.patchmypc.com/patch-my-pc-publisher/administration/sync-schedule) to inform administrators about successful actions, warnings, and failures.

Alerts are intended to help administrators quickly understand the state of the publishing process without needing to review detailed logs.

The Publisher supports both email and webhook notification delivery methods. They can notify when apps and updates are published successfully, when updates are skipped due to configuration, or when errors occur that require attention.
