• I don't want to be notified from closed tasks = When a task is closed and it is updated, you will not get a notification about that if you check this box.
• Do not notify anyone about updates made by me = When you make updates, no one will be notified about them.

Mentions and notifications

Users may be mentioned in task comments or within the task description by simply typing "@" followed by the username.

Notifications
