# Follow records in Next Experience

Get notified when a work note or comment is added to a record by following it in the classic environment in Next Experience.

## Before you begin

Role required: none

## About this task

Following records is currently supported from the classic form UI only, even when your instance uses Next Experience.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to a record in the classic environment.

    For example, navigate to **All** > **Incident** > **Assigned to me** and select an incident to follow.

    **Note:** Following records from within a workspace isn’t supported.

2.  Select **Follow**.
