How do i turn off the add mentions bar when typing a comment in jira?

Hello @CodingCam ,

Greetings of the day! Welcome to Atlassian community :)

You are seeing this because of the new experiment that has been rolled out since last week, where users will see 'Add mentions' bar in the comment field recommending user mentions. This experiment aims to increase mention usage in comments and make the process of mentioning people easier by providing recommended mentions.

If you do not wish to see the add mentions, you can contact Atlassian Support and they will assist in disabling it.

Thank you!

Hi @Shalini Pradhan 

Once again...please consider including the ability for customers to disable such features at a site level, even for experiments, as soon as they are introduced.  Such changes are often disruptive, taking up valuable screen space, causing confusion from just-in-time changes to the UX that impact customers' flow, and creating work for both Jira Site Admins and Atlassian Support to explain / disable them.

As an additional benefit, including the disable at the time of the release will help build / maintain trust with customers.

Thanks, and kind regards,
Bill
