Collaboration & Enterprise · comments
Updated 2026-07-28
- Mentions create attention, so use them carefully.
- Make mentions meaningful:
- Someone needs action.
- Someone needs information.
- Avoid:
- Mentioning everyone unnecessarily.
- Turning every update into an alert.
- Show:
- Who mentioned you.
- Why.
- What action is expected.
- Attention is a limited resource. Spend it intentionally.
