Mentions
Mentions are a great way of getting people to participate in building useful
and relevant content. You can mention a person in a special way that will
trigger Confluence to send that person a notification. This is called an
@mention
.
The @mention notifications work on pages, blog posts, and comments.
Confluence will send an e-mail message to users letting them know that they have
been mentioned in that page. This message is sent when you save the page but only
if the mentioned person has view permissions for that page.
Perform the following steps using autocomplete to mention someone:
1.
Open a page in the edit mode and place your cursor at the location where
you want to add a mention.
2.
Type
@
and then the first few characters of the user's full name.
3.
Choose the user's name from the list of suggestions.
It is also possible to add a mention via the editor toolbar, as follows:
1.
Open a page in the edit mode and place your cursor at the location where
you want to add a mention.
2.
Choose
Insert
|
User mention
. Confluence will add an
@
sign to the page.
3.
Start typing the person's full name.
4.
Choose the user's name from the list.
Note that mentions work on a user's full name and not on usernames. It is currently
not possible to mention groups.
