From the official readme · v3.2.2Description
This plugin is an add-on to WP Document Revisions. This supports sending out email notifications about newly published documents to users who are interested to receive notifications either automatically (on publish) or manually.

-
Users can opt-out if they don’t want to receive emails (they can choose to get all/nothing)

Bulk subscribe/unsubscribe users to/from email notifications (go to Users->All Users and see bulk actions)
For your External users:
-
The lists will contain the terms which, when matched to the document, will then send the notification to all users in the list

Frequently asked questions
How does the plugin work?
When enabled a metabox will be added to the Document Admin screen. This can contain two buttons to send emails. One will be for Internal users (although you can filter this capability out) and the other for Document Lists. The Document List define a set of email names and addresses that will be sent the notifications; together with a list of Taxonomy matching rules. Significant information is held in the Document and Document External List Help pulldowns found on the top right hand corner of their Admin screens. Please make use of them to see how to use them and where you can see the data in…
Where can I define new “Email From” name and from “Email Address”?
Go to Settings -> General -> “Document Email Settings” section.
How does this work? What is the difference between Auto/Manual notification mode?
In Settings -> Writing -> “Document Email Settings – Notifications” section you can select to send notifications automatically or manually. If it is set to Auto whenever you publish a document notification emails will be sent out automatically for users with access to the document and opted to receive such notifications. In case of Manual you will be provided a “Send/Re-send notification email(s)” button to notify your readers.
I’m not getting any notification emails, what is wrong?
In order to receive notification emails users have to go to their profile and check “Notify me by email when a new post is published” checkbox in “Document Email Settings” section (or an admin has to do it for them). It will check that the WordPress User can read the Document before sending a mail, it may be just that you cannot access the document.
I would like the document attached to the email (WordPress user)
Even though the user should have access to the document via the front-end, as well, the user can choose to have the document attached to the email (subject to size limitations) by checking “Also send me the document as an attachment by email when a new document is published” checkbox in “Document Email Settings” section (or an admin has to do it for them).
I have a site that requires a log-on but would like to send the External Users a copy of the document attached to the notification email.
This is a convenience when the document has public read access, but is necessary if the site requires users to log on to access a document. In Settings -> Writing -> “Document Email Settings – Notifications” section, there is a checkbox to attach the Document to the email. Individual lists can be defined to attach the document or not.
What kind of tags I can use and for what?
You can customize notification email template (both subject and content) In the content you can use any standard html tags as well on top of the following ones: Details are given in the tags documentation.
Where are the logs?
Logs of notifications are available at Document Emails -> Internal User Email Log (for WordPress users) or Document Emails -> External User Email Log, where you can view which users were notified about which post and if email sending was successful or not (please note that bounce messages are not processed).
I’ve multisite. Does this plugin work for me as well?
Yes, it does, but in that case each site will have its own log in Document Emails.
Are there filters to configure plugin operations
Yes, there are a number of these. These are listed and described at filters.md.
