To get someone's attention in your specification, use @mentions.
You can chat with other 'Team members' within the ‘Spec notes’ and ‘Master notes’ panels in specifications and masters.
@mentions are in 'Spec notes' and 'Master notes', which are available with Pro (and above).
To start a chat with another person:
- Select the ‘Spec note’ or ‘Master note’ you want to chat in.
- You can add a ‘Spec note’ or ‘Master note’ to sections, articles, clauses and rows.

If the user has no individual permission on the project and spec or only a 'Group permission', you should invite them first. They must accept the invitation before you can @mention them.
