## Overview

An @-mention lets you tag a specific person in a comment or reply. Their name is highlighted in the posted comment, and they're notified that you mentioned them — a quick way to pull the right person into a conversation or make clear who you're answering.

## How to mention someone

1. Start writing a comment or reply.
2. Type **@** followed by the person's name. A list of matching people appears as you type, showing each person's name, avatar and email.
3. Pick the person you want — either click their name, or use the arrow keys to highlight them and press **Enter**.
4. Their name is inserted as a highlighted mention. Finish your comment and click **Comment** to post.

> **Tip:** You can mention more than one person in the same comment — just type **@** again for each person.

## Things to keep in mind

* The mention list searches the people in your organisation, so you can only mention users who exist in your SuperPath account.
* The list shows up to eight matches at a time; keep typing to narrow it down if you don't see the person straight away.
* Search starts once you type a name after the **@** — an empty **@** on its own won't show a list.
* The people you mention are notified that you tagged them, so they can jump straight to the comment.

## FAQs

**Who can I mention?**
Anyone in your organisation who comes up when you search after typing **@**. If a name doesn't appear, that person may not have a matching profile in your SuperPath account.

**Does the person I mention get notified?**
Yes. Mentioning someone sends them a notification linking back to your comment.

**Nothing happens when I type @ — why?**
The search only runs once you begin typing a name. Type a letter or two after the **@** and matching people will appear.

## Who can do this

Anyone who can comment on a discussion can mention people in their comments — **Owners**, **Admins**, **Managers**, **Content Managers**, **People Managers**, **Instructors**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users.
