Hi folks I generally create drafts to write my content in advance and publish them over the week using the reminder options. If I mention people in my post, do they receive an email when I save the draft? Or only when the draft is automatically published? Or just my teammates that are able to see the draft category will receive the email when I save? Obviously I’d like that people are mentioned only when the post is published. Did I clarify my question? ---

People only see mentions on topics and posts they have access to, so as a draft, they shouldn’t see mention notifications until the draft is published. If you have doubts about this, I’d suggest creating a test user and running through to the process to see if and when they get the mention notification. ---
