Hi @Shelley.L.511,
I believe the answer to your question may be contained in this related discussion:
How do you turn off email notifications to students on content changes?
That being said, we have several different content experiences, which may or may not contain the option for content authors to choose whether learners are notified by the change. I suspect that perhaps you are using one of our newer content experiences which currently lacks this setting, which would make it entirely dependent on whether or not the learner subscribes to the related notification type.
For more on the topic of the various content experiences, I recommend review Classic Content vs. New Content in Brightspace: Which One Is Right for You?
The only other thing you could do outside of the content experience to influence (minimize) that potential would be to have your site administrator Set default notification options for users, which would have the effect of newly created users not having that particular notification type set to on by default. Still, this would not prevent a user from modifying their notification settings and opting-in to a notification of this type.
I hope that helps!

Hi Shelley. Notifications are not really controlled by the instructor. They are more in the control of the recipeint. Students can set their notification preferences in their account settings. Your administrator can also adjust notification settings that would be for all users in the organization.
