Manage conversations

View, organize, and manage your direct message conversations.

View your conversations​

  1. Select the Direct Messages icon (chat bubble) in the user tray (top-right of the window).
  2. Your conversations are listed with the most recent activity at the top. Select one to open it.

Conversations are automatically sorted by the timestamp of the most recent message. When someone sends a new message in a conversation, that conversation moves to the top of your list.

View conversation details​

See who's in a conversation and access conversation options.

  1. Open the conversation.
  2. Select the Options icon (three vertical dots)
  3. Select View details. The details panel shows conversation members, pinned messages, and other options.

Leave a conversation​

Leaving a conversation removes it from your list. For one-on-one conversations, your message history is deleted. For group conversations, the conversation continues for other members.

  1. In the Direct Messages list, right-click a conversation.
  2. Select Leave direct message.
  3. In the confirmation dialog, select Leave to confirm.

For group conversations, see Group conversations for more details.

Pin a conversation to the tab bar​

Pinning a conversation adds the entire conversation as a tab in your tab bar for quick access. This is different from pinning individual messages within a conversation.

Pinned conversations appear as tabs alongside your community tabs, so you can open them with one click.

To pin from the conversation list:

  1. Select the Direct Messages icon (chat bubble) in the user tray.
  2. Right-click the conversation you want to pin.
  3. Select Pin to tab.

To pin from an open conversation:

  1. Open the conversation.
  2. Select the Options icon (three dots) in the conversation header.
  3. Select Pin to tab.

The conversation appears as a new tab in the tab bar. You can then right-click the tab and select Open in new window to open the conversation in a separate window. Direct message conversations must be pinned to the tab bar before they can be opened in a new window.

Unpin a conversation from the tab bar​

Remove a pinned conversation from the tab bar when you no longer need quick access to it.

To unpin from the conversation list:

  1. Select the Direct Messages icon (chat bubble) in the user tray.
  2. Right-click the pinned conversation.
  3. Select Unpin from tab.

To unpin from an open conversation:

  1. Open the pinned conversation.
  2. Select the Options icon (three dots) in the conversation header.
  3. Select Unpin from tab.

You can also close the tab directly from the tab bar to unpin the conversation.
