Mentioning someone in a comment
Overview
Note: To use this feature, e-mail integration settings must be enabled and configured by your instance administrator.
Within comments you have the ability to mention other Blueprint users as well as stakeholders that do not use Blueprint. Comments allow multiple stakeholders to collaborate on requirements. Blueprint users or e-mail collaborators can add comments to any artifact or sub-artifact, including (but not limited to) textual requirements, use cases, actors, use case steps, diagrams, shapes in diagrams, glossaries, and glossary terms.
