When a channel has several conversations going at once, threads keep replies attached to the message they are about. Search helps you find the discussion again later.
Reply in a thread
-
Find the message
Open Messages and choose the channel with the conversation.
-
Open its replies
Choose the message reply or thread option and add your response there. The replies stay grouped under the original message instead of taking over the main channel.
-
Catch up later
Open the thread again to read the replies. The message shows when it has a conversation attached.
Find a message or share a file
Use search within the channel to look for an earlier message. To share something useful, drag a file into your message or choose an item from your media library, forms or documents. You can also react to a message when a quick acknowledgement is enough.
