Tag a colleague in a comment, and they get notified 💬

Sometimes a comment is really a question for one person. Now you can say so: type @ in a comment, pick a colleague, and they get a notification that takes them straight to it.

How it works

In a comment on a risk improvement, finding or compliance item, type @ and keep typing to search by name or email. Pick someone, then save your comment as usual. They show up as a tag in the comment, and hovering over the tag shows who they are.

You can also tag someone by editing a comment you've already written. Only the people you've just added are notified.

Who you can tag

The list only shows colleagues who can see the item, so nobody gets a link they can't open.

Everyone stays in control of their notifications

• Follows your watch level: a tag reaches you on Participating & @mentions and All activity. On Ignore, or if you've muted the item, it doesn't.
• No doubles in your inbox: if a change would have notified you anyway, you get the tag instead of both.
• One comment, not a subscription: being tagged tells you about that comment. You won't hear about later changes unless you follow the item.
