Documentation changes

Document in-page @ mentions in the web editor (Linear ENG-10574) and the built-in <Mention> component.

Visual-mode @ inserts a teammate or a page. Teammates may get an email when you pick them from the menu. Source-mode authors use <Mention user="…" /> or <Mention page="…" /> (exactly one).

Translations (fr/, es/, zh/) are left to the automatic pipeline.

Related implementation PRs:

  • mint: #10268 (packages) → #10269 (dashboard/client) → #10271 (emails)
  • server: #7604 (core) → #7607 (emails)
  • emails: add customer support #84

Files

  • editor/pages.mdxMention teammates and pages under Edit content (visual-mode @)
  • editor/comments.mdx<Note> distinguishing comment @ from page-body @
  • editor/keyboard-shortcuts.mdx@ in the visual-mode content-actions table
  • editor/agent.mdx — one sentence that agent-chat @ does not open the in-content mention menu (the existing “mention a page for the agent” copy was already on main)
  • components/mention.mdx — new component page (user or page, not both)
  • components/index.mdx — card under Draw attention
  • docs.json — English nav entry components/mention

Why

Users should be able to type @ and know what happens for teammates vs pages, plus that an email may arrive. MDX authors need the component in the Components group. Comment @ and agent @ already existed, so those pages only disambiguate.

Test plan

  • mint broken-links — no broken links found
  • vale on the changed MDX files — 0 errors, 0 warnings, 0 suggestions
  • Confirm /editor/pages#mention-teammates-and-pages and /components/mention resolve on preview
  • In the web editor, type @ in visual mode and confirm the menu matches this copy (one of: user or page)
  • Confirm comment @ and agent @ still behave as documented

For Reviewers

When reviewing documentation PRs, please consider:

Technical accuracy

  • Code examples work as written
  • Commands and configurations are correct
  • Links resolve to the right destinations
  • Prerequisites and requirements are accurate

Clarity and completeness

  • Instructions are clear and easy to follow
  • Steps are in logical order
  • Nothing important is missing
  • Examples help illustrate the concepts

User experience

  • A new user could follow these docs successfully
  • Common gotchas or edge cases are addressed
  • Error messages or troubleshooting guidance is helpful

Areas of uncertainty

  • Could not clone/read private mintlify/mint, mintlify/server, or mintlify/emails from this environment (404). Copy follows the ENG-10574 brief.
  • No live <Mention> examples on the component page: published user mentions flatten to a display name (needs a real org member), and page mentions flatten to regular links.
  • Intentionally omitted: changelog, dashboard settings, hover cards, legacy tags, Resend ~24h dedup, commentReplyEmailsEnabled, and email CTA copy (“View mention”).

Add a visual-mode mentions section on Create and edit pages, and
cross-link comments, keyboard shortcuts, and the agent chat @ menu
so teammates vs pages and email-on-insert are clear.

Add a Mention component page and nav entry, wrap the comments
distinction in a Note, and use kbd for @ across editor pages.

I can't access those repositories from this session, so I can't verify against implementation source. I'll report this rather than guess at changes.

Unable to access the referenced implementation repositories, so no documentation changes were made.
