Notifications in Sheets going to those not signed up for notifications

[dalkesm]

I have an issue with notifications from a Google Sheet going to another employee that is not signed up for notifications in that Sheet. 

It is only happening when I enter a "comment" in a cell.  We experimented twice with it today, and she is only getting notifications when I enter "comments."  To be clear, she is NOT signed up for notifications (through the Tools function) and is not getting notifications for any other edits made within the Sheet. 

Any ideas as to why she is getting notifications, specifically for "comments", when she is not signed up for notifications at all?

Ty!

There is a separate setting for comment notifications. You can find it in the menu under Tools->Notification Settings->Comment Notifications. I am on the new menu layout that was released earlier this month. Here is the dialog box that appears..

Love it!  I just had her go change her notification settings.  I always work in the "edit notifications" area and had never been in the "comment" area of the notification settings; so didn't notice it existed:)  Ty!

Hi @dalkesm & @JasonTM1 

Hope you don't mind me following up on this. I have found that users are receiving notifications of all comments in Google Sheets, if they are a manager of the Shared Drive the Sheet was saved in. Was / is your user a manager of the Shared Drive where this file is saved?

@JasonTM1 I can't find a global setting for this, so we are struggling with having to manually update settings per a file for these comment notifications and the only similarity I have found between all the complaints is the fact that they are Managers on the Shared Drive. Have you seen anything?

It is my sheet, of my own creation, in my own Drive.
