Use this interactive demo to learn how to mention and notify a teammate in a Jira ticket comment.

Quick summary

Tagging someone in a Jira comment lets you mention and notify a teammate directly within a ticket, keeping collaboration in context. Simply type @ in the comment box and select the user from the suggested results to instantly link them to the conversation.


Steps

  1. In your Jira space, find and select the ticket with the comment you wish to edit.
  2. Go to the Comments tab and type your comment into the message box.
  3. Type @ next to your message to trigger the mention lookup.
  4. Choose the user you want to tag from the suggested results.
  5. The selected user will be tagged in your comment and notified automatically.

📌 Why this matters

Tagging teammates in Jira comments is essential for keeping project communication tied directly to the relevant ticket. The @mention feature in Jira instantly notifies the tagged user, reducing the need for separate emails or messages and speeding up issue resolution. For software teams managing sprints and backlogs, in-context notifications ensure that the right people are looped in at exactly the right moment. This capability makes Jira a centralized hub for both task tracking and team collaboration.
