Turn any message into a focused discussion. Threads help you respond to specific topics without interrupting the main conversation flow.

Why Use Threads?

Stay organized - Keep related replies together in one place
Reduce clutter - Main channel stays clean and easy to follow
Focus better - Discuss specific topics without distractions
Easy to find - All thread responses are grouped under the original message

Starting a Thread

Click the thread icon (💬) on any message to reply in a thread. Your response will be grouped with the original message instead of appearing in the main chat.

The original message shows a thread indicator with the number of replies, so everyone knows there's more discussion happening.

Following Threads

When someone replies to a message in a thread:

You'll see the thread count update on the original message
Thread participants get notifications for new replies
Click the thread indicator to see all responses

Thread Sidebar

Active threads open in a sidebar next to the main chat. This lets you:

See the full conversation context
Reply without leaving the main channel
Switch between the thread and main chat easily

On mobile, threads open in a full-screen view for better readability.

Tips

Keep discussions focused - Start threads for topics that might go back and forth
Check thread activity - Look for the thread count badge to see ongoing discussions

Threads work in all channels and direct messages, making every conversation more organized.
