Use @Mentions in GroupNews

Mentions let you flag teammates instantly, keeping the right eyes on every update.

Mention someone in a story or discussion

  1. Type @ while writing your post or comment.
  2. Begin typing a name and choose the person from the list (repeat for multiple tags).
  3. Publish the post or comment.
  4. Each tagged member gets an in-app and email notification.

Viewing your mentions

When you’re @-mentioned in GroupNews, an alert appears in your Notifications panel that links straight to the relevant comment or story, a matching email is sent so you never miss the update, and your name is highlighted inside the thread for quick spotting.
