When you are creating updating an activity stream (for a post or a comment), you can highlight one or more co-workers using a mention. Try mentioning them using the '@' signs and then their first name. As you type, a list of people will appear. Select the person you want to mention.
When you do this, the person should receive a notification that you mentioned them in a post. They'll also be able to see the post which they were mentioned in, even if the post wasn't originally shared with them.
Mentioning people is particularly useful when you're on a huge post and you want to address someone specifically, or when you want to add someone to a post.
To watch this in action please see this brief Video:-
