The [Business and Technical Owners](https://docs.selectstar.com/data-management/data-ownership) of the table or dashboard will be automatically notified when a comment is created. Notification emails are sent by default, but can be disabled in Settings.

Notifications are also sent through Select Star. See notifications by clicking the bell :bell: icon in the top right corner of the screen.

You can also receive notifications by installing the [Select Star Slack App](https://docs.selectstar.com/integrations/slack).

## Discussion Tips

Table Owners can pin :pushpin: important comments so they'll show up at the top of the page.
