Using Mentions

You can use autocomplete to automatically notify another Confluence user that you have mentioned them in a page, blog post, or comment.

Type '@' to see a list of suggested users to mention. When you save the page, an email is automatically sent to the user to notify them that they have been mentioned on that page (if they have permission to view the page or blog post). This works for new and updated pages, blog posts, and comments.

You need to know the user's real name – autocomplete for mentions suggests users' full names only, not their usernames.

To autocomplete a mention using '@':

1. Edit the page.
2. Click where you want to insert a mention and type '@' and then the first few characters of the user's real name.
3. Choose the user's name from the list of suggestions.
