In addition, people who leave comments can opt-in to receiving notifications if someone has mentioned them in a comment.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Opt-in is Site-wide**: When a user opts-in, they are sent an email to confirm their subscription. This enables comment mentions for the user site-wide.
