Comments & Mentions

How comments work

Comments let you have focused discussions about specific files and documents in your workspace. Each comment starts a thread where team members can reply, creating a clear record of feedback and decisions.

Adding comments

You can leave comments on files in your workspace. Comments are anchored to the file — so the discussion stays attached to the content it’s about, even as the file evolves.

To add a comment, open a file and use the comment interface to leave your feedback. Other team members can reply to create a conversation thread.

@mentions

Tag a team member by typing @ followed by their name. When you @mention someone, they receive a notification (both in-app and via email, depending on their notification preferences).

Use @mentions to:

• Ask a specific person for feedback on a section
• Assign a follow-up action to a team member
• Draw attention to something that needs review

Example: “The budget justification needs more detail on personnel costs. @Sarah can you add the staffing breakdown from our HR documents?”

Email routing

Comments with @mentions generate email notifications. The recipient gets an email with the comment text, the file it’s attached to, and a link to view the thread in Grantable. They can reply directly from the notification.

Tips

• Use comments for asynchronous feedback — especially when team members work on different schedules.
• Keep comment threads focused on one topic. Start a new comment for a new issue.
• @mention only the people who need to see a comment. Avoid tagging the whole team for minor items.
