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

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.

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! [image] Asana tasks - understanding the basics | Product guide • Asana Product Gui…

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 .
