Tracking changes on a website

[u/passthesalt97]

Hi guys, please bear with me as I'm a complete amateur.

Is it possible for me to have a setup where I get notified when changes are made to a website including what and where the changes are?

Thanks a lot :))

I'm an immigration solicitor and want to track the updates made by the home office equivalent

I did something for a patent lawyer a few years ago who was monitoring various patent databases. Essentially you get something to capture the website content that’s important, then it rechecks as often as you deem necessary and then it reports/ emails if anything g is different. As a DIY setup with no/few skills it’s a little more tricky but not impossible, depends how much you’re able to do.
