What's the watch list for?

Question

What is the watch list for in your Q&A?

Answer 1

Favorite Answer

I've used a watch list for the following reasons:

- Found an interesting question that I can't answer until tomorrow (since I had exceeded gone over my daily quota.)

- Interesting question that I'd like to see the answer to

- Interesting answer w/ a link that will come in handy for the future

- Curiosity to see which answer will be selected as the best

- Questions I want to vote on in the future

- Easy placeholder until I find the info I'm looking for (e.g. web search)

Answer 2

You can use it for a variety of reasons as others have demonstrated.

Personally, I have a question I answered that I got a best answer for. Because the information I provided is complex, I decided to watch my answer, so that if I see the question arise again, I can immediately access the question rather than search through the best answers I've received since answering it, or work out what the process is.

Answer 3

If you watch or like an interesting question just add it in your watch list by click on "add to watch list" from right of question.

Good Luck.

Answer 4

Tracking questions you want to see the answers to

Answer 5

It's just for easier viewing, like "My favorites". You don't have to scour through tons of answered questions for the specific question/answers that you like.
