How do CCs work in Back

Each request can have multiple users in CC, which can be anyone from the organization, but also outside of it.
The expert can manage (add and remove) the current list of CCs from the request detail.
People that are added in CC get automatically notified about updates to the request and can also add their replies to the request.
What notification do CCs receive?
People in CC get notified via e-mail whenever.

Who gets notified when a request is updated?
When the expert updates the request from Back, or the requester adds a new reply from the request status view, all current CCs will be notified.
