Facing the post-epidemic era and not knowing when it will be “post”, Google not only responds to the surge in demand for online video conferencingOffering free extensions to Google Meet, corresponding to the increasing importance of online collaborative work, the company has recently brought many related updates to their cloud file services. This time, users in Workspace workgroups can tag users directly in documents. Continue reading the text of the report on the official launch of the “@mentions” tagging function for users in Google documents.

The function of marking users in Google documents “@mentions” is officially launched
Google’s cloud work tool series can actually share documents/spreadsheets/presentations/forms/files with other Gmail/G Suite users by sharing tags. This update for users of the free trial Google Workspace service provides the ability to mark workgroup users with @mentions in documents for the Docs file service. This will allow people to more quickly grasp the contact information and information of the person in charge or relevant workers in the document, improving the efficiency of work contacts.

This function actually has a bit of social sharing meaning, but in a work environment, it is a function that hopes that everyone can quickly contact the work team members. In Google Docs, you only need to add an “@” editor in the same way as on social networking sites, and the drop-down menu of contacts will automatically pop up – continue to enter text to narrow the list of marked contacts.

After being marked, the document can provide a quick preview of the account’s related contact information, including Gmail account or professional title, etc. However, in fact, this marking function will not send a notification of being marked like a social networking site, but if the account being marked does not have access rights to the file, the sharing suggestion function will pop up. Overall, it is a very considerate file function.
I wonder if readers are increasingly using online collaboration tools to collaborate when working or studying? If you really use it frequently, the many friendly features of Workspace are actually worth considering trying.
