## Silently mention a user
|
|
|
|
A silent mention allows you to refer to a user without triggering a
|
|
notification. Silent mentions start with `@_` instead of `@`.

## Mention all topic participants
|
|
|
|
Using the `@**topic**` mention, you can mention everyone who has previously
|
|
participated in the topic by sending a message or
|
|
[reacting](/help/emoji-reactions) with an emoji. This lets you notify just those
|
|
who have already engaged in the conversation.
|
|
|
|
Users can disable notifications for `@**topic**` mentions by:
|
|
|
|
- Disabling notifications for wildcard mentions
|
|
[globally](/help/dm-mention-alert-notifications) or for [individual
|
|
channels](/help/channel-notifications).
|
|
|
|
- Muting the [topic](/help/mute-a-topic) or [channel](/help/mute-a-channel).
|
|
|
|
## Mention everyone on a channel
|
|
|
|
You can mention everyone on a channel with the `@**all**` mention (or,
|
|
equivalently, `@**everyone**` or `@**channel**`). It's best to use these mentions
|
|
only when your message requires timely attention from many channel subscribers.
|
|
An organization can be configured to
|
|
[restrict](/help/restrict-wildcard-mentions) wildcard mentions in large channels.
|
|
|
|
Users can disable notifications for `@**all**`, `@**everyone**`, and
|
|
`@**channel**` mentions by:
|
|
|
|
- Disabling notifications for wildcard mentions
|
|
[globally](/help/dm-mention-alert-notifications) or for [individual
|
|
channels](/help/channel-notifications).
|
|
|
|
- Muting the [topic](/help/mute-a-topic) or [channel](/help/mute-a-channel).
