How to Tag a Colleague, a Group, or Everyone in a Contact

Shared Contacts for Gmail® allows anyone who has permission higher than “View Only” to add comments and inform other users about the existence of any changes regarding the entry. This is done without the need to write an email or chat with whom the contact is shared.
