To use change tracking and deliver notifications you must configure Page and Field Configurator, PeopleTools Notifications Administration, User Preferences, and the Notification Composer Framework.  You may use the Setting up Page and Field Configurator and Notification Composer to Track Changes and Notify Users tutorial as a guide to setting up PFC Change Tracking with Notifications.

Notification Examples
