Using the RSS subscription feature in Trac, you can easily monitor progress of the project, a set of issues or even changes to a single file . |

== How to access RSS data == |
|---|
| 14 |
Anywhere in Trac where RSS is available, you should find a small orange '''XML''' icon, typically placed at the bottom of the page. Clicking the icon will access the RSS feed for that specific resource. |

'''Note:''' Different modules provide different data in their RSS feeds. Usually, the syndicated information corresponds to the current view. For example, if you click the RSS link on a report page, the feed will be based on that report. It might be explained by thinking of the RSS feeds as an ''alternate view of the data currently displayed''. |
