I wish that Figma would be better about auto-recommending the right person when I @ mention them in comments. I work in a large company with many Figma users, however, I work with only a handful of people on a daily basis. Even though i constantly @ mention a particular coworker, it auto-selects someone else in my org who has a similar name.
I wish Figma would be better about auto-recommending which user I pick based on frequency of mentions. This would prevent me from tagging the wrong person in comments.
Hey @Michael_Diener, thanks for the feedback and sorry for the frustration!
This has been top of mind this year, and our team actually made some recent updates to the @mention logic in comments. There are some restrictions around @mention behavior depending on your plan and role, so with these in mind, hopefully we can clear up any confusion!
