Good to know

• The people you can mention are the project’s lead, members and people assigned to tasks in the project.
• Mentioned people get a “… mentioned you on …” notification, but only if they can open the task. Someone who isn’t a project member won’t be notified.
• Everyone assigned to the task gets a “New comment on …” notification (people you mentioned get only the mention notification).
• Web links in comments become clickable automatically.
• Pasted text is added as plain text, without formatting.
• To share a file, upload it on the task’s Documents tab instead. Files can’t be attached to comments.
