Challenge 2: An @Mentioned Comment — Solution Walkthrough Steps: 1. Select the relevant paragraph, click the comment icon (or Insert > Comment). 2. Type the open question, then type @ followed by the colleague's email address, selecting them from the suggested list that appears. 3. Post the comment. What happens as a result of the @mention: The mentioned colleague receives a direct notification (typically by email) alerting them specifically that they were mentioned in a comment on this document, with a link straight to that comment's location — distinct from simply leaving a comment that anyone viewing the document might eventually happen to notice on their own. Why a Comment was the correct tool, not a Suggestion: The situation is a genuine open QUESTION about the paragraph's content — nothing about the actual text is being proposed as a change yet, since the answer to the question isn't known. A Comment is specifically for exactly this: raising something for discussion without touching the text at all, per this chapter's own Comments- vs-Suggestions distinction. Using a Suggestion here would require proposing some SPECIFIC replacement text, which doesn't make sense when the actual issue is still an open question rather than a decided edit. WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER ------------------------------ This is a direct, concrete instance of this chapter's own core distinction, combined with the @mention feature specifically highlighted as a genuine Google-specific addition beyond what Word's own Comments offer — turning a general discussion note into a directed, notified request for a specific person's input.
