What is alerts default behavior on document libraries?

Hi,

is there any documentation on when exactly which alert e-mails are sent?

I have a customer who complained about getting alert e-mails with old
metadata. As I read in this forum that's because adding a document and editing
the metadata are two different steps of a process. But why don't I get an alert
on the second step as well? If I want to be alerted on every change, why don't I
get an e-mail on adding AND editing?

Ok, I found as a proposed solution to a similar problem to enable content
approval in the library because then the alert e-mail should be sent after
approval and therefor include the metadata. We did that and I worked for one
user, but not for the user that uploaded and approved the document. He got the
old metadata in the alert e-mail :(

I suggested to change the alert settings to "changed by others" ... but he
wants a confirmation that it's not random behavior.

Can anybody help me with this?

Thx a lot!

Mel
