Google Sheets does not have a built-in feature specifically for task assignment, but you can use comments to mention and assign tasks to collaborators. Here's how you can do it:
Click on the cell or drag your mouse to select a range where you want to assign a task or make a comment.
Right-click on the selected cell or range. Choose “Comment” from the dropdown menu. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + M (on Windows) or Cmd + Option + M (on Mac) to add a comment directly.
In the comment box, start typing your comment or task instruction. To assign the task to someone, type the @ symbol followed by their email address (e.g., @johndoe@example.com). Tick the checkbox next to "Assign to…" then click "Assign."
Google Sheets will notify the person via email that they’ve been assigned a task. Ensure the person you're assigning the task to has access to the Google Sheet.
