What\u2019s changing\u00a0<\/h3>\n
We know there are scenarios in which you may want to reference a person with an @mention<\/a> without adding them to a conversation in Google Chat. Starting today, when mentioning a user that is not already in the conversation, you will have the option to add them and send the message, or just send the message without adding them.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\"option<\/a><\/div>\n
We\u2019re also adding visual improvements by rendering @mentions as smart chips, which brings them more in line with Drive chips<\/a> in Chat and smart chips across Workspace. With simplified colors, your personal mentions still stand out the most and will be easily spotted in conversations, Home and Mentions.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

On web, hovering on the chip will show more information about the person and clicking the chip will start a new 1:1 direct message with them.\u00a0<\/div>\n
