Right-click on the project folder and select 'Start Watching' to start watching activities performed on the selected project folder. Folders on which you are already keeping a watch will show with an eye icon.

Note: All the sub-folders are included by default when you start watching a parent folder. In case you want to avoid this:

a. Right-click on the concerned parent folder and select the 'Watch > Edit Settings' option.

b. Then unselect the 'Include Subfolders' box and click the 'Update' option.

Any watch configuration set specifically for an individual file will precede folder-level watch configurations in its hierarchy.

When you click the 'Start Watching' option for the first time on a folder, 5 activities are selected by default to receive instant notifications.
