Google Workspace Adds New Comment @Mention Notifications

Google Workspace now alerts users when someone mentions them using “@” in comments. This update aims to make team communication faster. Google announced the change today. The feature works across Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive files. Previously, users might miss important comments. They needed to check documents manually. The new notification system fixes this problem.

When someone adds a comment and includes “@” followed by a name, the mentioned person gets an alert. The alert appears directly in their Gmail inbox. They also see it in Google Chat. This ensures people see requests quickly. It helps teams respond faster. Missed tasks become less likely. Managers can track progress more easily.

Google believes this improves workflow. Workers spend less time hunting for mentions. They focus more on actual tasks. The notifications are automatic. No setup is required. Users control notification settings. They can turn alerts on or off. They choose email or Chat notifications.
