Mentions (also known as @mentions) are a seamless way to draw a person’s or team's attention to pages, comments, or a task you’ve assigned to them.
There are two ways to add mentions:
using autocomplete
via the editor toolbar.
The people you mention only receive a notification the first time you mention them on a page, but not for subsequent mentions.
If you need to catch someone's attention, and you've already mentioned them, try sharing a page with them instead.
When you mention a person or assign a task to them, they'll receive a notification in their notification drawer; the task assigned to them will also appear under Tasks.
To mention a person using autocomplete, type ‘@' in the editor, then start typing their name. Choose the person you want to mention from the list of suggestions.
If you'd rather use the editor toolbar, choose the @ icon, then start typing the name of the person you want to mention. Choose the person you want to mention from the list of suggestions.
You can also mention a team in the same way you mention a person.
When you mention a team or assign them a task, individuals in that team will receive notifications in their notification drawer; if you mention a team in a task, the task is assigned to individuals in that team and will appear also appear under Tasks.
To mention a team using autocomplete, type ‘@' in the editor, then start typing the team name. Choose the team you want to mention from the list of suggestions.
If you'd rather use the editor toolbar, choose the @ icon, then start typing the name of the team you want to mention. Choose the team you want to mention from the list of suggestions.
