Capability Summary	In Smart Document on Android, you can type `@` to choose a collaborator and send a message reminder.	Word on Android supports @mentions in comments so you can tag colleagues, and the same flow can extend to task assignment.	Google Docs Editors on Android supports `@` mentions in comments and sends email notifications to mentioned people.	Notion supports @mentions across pages, comments, databases, and discussions, with notifications collected in Inbox.	Acrobat supports comments and @mentions in PDF collaboration spaces, but the workflow is centered on PDF review.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the mention flow stays close to document editing on Android and fits mobile collaboration well; Distinct: the source workflow starts from document input instead of requiring a separate comment panel first.
