Mention collaborators in comments

The comment feature simplifies collaboration by allowing you to mention collaborators in the file and customize notification settings based on your preferences. It improves efficiency at work by keeping everyone informed without unnecessary distractions.

You can press "@" to mention collaborators by typing their names to notify them of relevant content when adding or replying to a comment.

  1. 1.Typing "@" followed by the collaborator’s name or email and Motiff will suggest relevant collaborators based on your history.
  2. 2.Select the person’s name from the list and the mention will appear in blue text.
  3. 3.Enter your comment and click send.
  4. 4.An email will be sent to notify the mentioned user, including the comment details and file link.

Note: If the user you want to mention does not appear in the list, you need to invite them to become a collaborator of the file first.
