What does it mean to be an “owner” of an item. How is this defined/set?
Is this outlined in the docs somewhere?
How does this differ from being “subscribed” to an item and/or being “assigned” an item?
Thanks in advance for the clarification.
Hey Max! The owner of the item is the same as the person “assigned” to that item. Both terms just mean that the person is listed in the People Column for that item.
Does this help clarify? Are you running into scenarios in which these terms all mean different things? Let me know and I’d be happy to figure this out together! 
Hi Charlotte, thanks for the response. I was trying to understand the email notification options. If these two terms are in fact interchangeable, why does Monday use both of them?
Does “Writes an update on an Item I’m the owner of” mean the exact same thing as “Writes an update on an Item I’m assigned to”?

I was trying to find out why I am not getting notifications on an item I have subscribed myself even though notifications are all turned on and I stumbled upon this feature which I was not familiar with. There were two owners of an item even though there was only one person in the person column. I added myself as an owner and still the person column remains only with one person. Is this feature supposed to be working already or in testing mode still? I will continue to look for solution as to the main issue which is notifications in other threads but wanted to share ownership not synching with person column here with you.
