What is a mention?

Mention basics

Mentions are a simple way to get someone's attention in Workflowy.

When you are in a shared space where users have been invited via email with "Full access" or "Can edit" permissions, you can use the @ symbol to create a mention.

When you mention someone, they will receive a notification that they have been mentioned and will be able to see:

• Who mentioned them
• When they were mentioned
• Where they were mentioned

When someone mentions you, you will be able to see the same information.

What can I do with mentions?

You're free to use mentions in any way that makes sense to you. Some suggestions for mentions are:

• Ask a question
• Assign a task
• Start a conversation
• Request more information
• Ask for a review
