@mention a Group or Team - Questions for Confluence

[AJ Tardio]

For the Questions for Confluence add on - It looks like you can only mention a specific user and not a Group or Team - is this in the roadmap to improve the functionality?

Hi, is Teams the same as groups?

@PHILIP LOIZIDES Welcome to the Community.

Teams are a specific set of teammates in Confluence that can be mentioned on a page using the @ symbol.

Groups are a function of security and are used to assign privileges to a space or page.

I hope this helps.

Hi @AJ Tardio , 

It is possible to mention a Team in either Confluence or Jira, after you've set one up.

Here is the Atlassian documentation on Teams:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/teams-in-atlassian-products-976161199.html

I've used @ mentions successfully in our Cloud sites, as shown in the screenshot below. After typing "@" and starting to type the team name you're presented with a list of possible members or teams.  In this photo the Team name is "OIT Content & Communications". When you select a Team and insert it, the team name is shown followed by the names of people on the Team.

I hope this helps! Best wishes, Sharon

But have you mentioned a Team in Questions for Confluence add on? That's what I'm specifically asking this question for. I've edited my question to specific that in more detail.

Oops! I was not clear about that, and haven't tried mentioning in Questions for Confluence. Thank you for clarifying!
