How can you ensure that a specific collaborator receives a notification about your comment in Smartsheet?

The method for ensuring that a specific collaborator receives a notification about your comment in Smartsheet is to mention them with the @ symbol in the comment. This functionality is part of Smartsheet's collaboration features, which allow users to directly engage others in conversations by tagging them. When you mention someone using the @ symbol followed by their name, Smartsheet sends a notification to that individual, alerting them to your comment and prompting them to review it. This is an effective way to ensure that the right people are included in discussions and that they are aware of updates that require their attention.

Using a hashtag or linking a name in the comment does not generate notifications for users, and sending a separate email is not an integrated part of the Smartsheet commenting system, which is designed to keep communications streamlined within the platform itself.
