Mentions in Pages in Confluence

Question

We are using mentions to add names in documents if people have certain responsibilities regarding that page. If someone leaves the company, will their names still be visible in the page? As per my understanding, mentions disappear when the account is deleted. Is this also the case for an account being deactivated. And why would you ever delete an account if it can be deactivated?

I would preferable have them not disappear to maintain traceability of people who have had responsibilities regarding documents.

Depending on how the account is added, you may be unable to delete it, just deactivate it.

If they are deactivated it is shown as Username (Deactivated)
