Will all the collaborators see my updates or do I have to do put the @ symbol with their name to be notified?

Hi @Aline_V. Welcome. The collaborators of the task will receive notifications in their Inbox and via email, according to their settings. See the Asana guide article below for more details. Hope this helps!

Thank you for your response.

So, the purpose the @ function is what?

Hi @Aline_V! :slight_smile: When you @mention someone in a task or conversation, they are automatically added as a collaborator and receive an Inbox notification.

And even if they are already a collaborator, that is a way to be clear about who you are addressing in the comments. It is also easier to always mention rather that checking if they are already a follower. And people can filter mention in the Inbox so that will help them.
