Combining the Action Items feature with Comments can be a powerful way to harness asynchronous collaboration at iDesign. This feature gives you the ability to assign a specific task to a colleague with the file (docs, sheets, slides) you are using. Using this feature will generate an automatic email notification prompting the assignee to complete the assigned task.

Note: Google Drive uses AI to intelligently suggest an action item you can assign to a specific user. This feature is especially seen when documenting meeting notes.

Highlight

Highlight a helpful and descriptive section of the document your action item will relate to and select the comment icon to the right.

Tag a Team Member

Begin your comment with the @ symbol and begin typing the person's name you will assign the task to and leave a clear description of the action you would like them to complete.

Assign

Tick the "Assign to" box and select Comment when you are ready to send the notification.
