Use this interactive demo to learn how to tag teammates with @mentions in Linear issues.

Quick summary

@mentions in Linear let you notify teammates directly inside issue comments, keeping collaboration contextual and reducing context-switching. Once you post a comment with an @mention, the tagged person receives an instant notification in Linear.


Steps

  1. Open an issue and click on it to view its details.
  2. Navigate to the comments section of the issue.
  3. Type @ followed by your teammate's name in the comment field.
  4. Select their name from the dropdown list that appears.
  5. Click the arrow icon to post your comment.
  6. Your teammate will receive a notification in Linear once the comment is submitted.

📌 Why this matters

@mentions in Linear make it easy to loop in the right teammates directly inside an issue without leaving the platform. By tagging a colleague in a comment, you trigger an instant Linear notification, ensuring nothing gets missed and reducing reliance on external messaging tools. This keeps all project communication tied to the relevant issue, improving team accountability and response times. For engineering and product teams managing fast-moving work, @mentions are a key feature for staying aligned without creating extra overhead.
