Slack Threads:
Slack Threads let you discuss topics in detail without adding clutter to a conversation’s main view, and make it easier to keep track of discussions.
Start or reply to a thread
- Hover over the message that you'd like to reply to.
- Click the Reply in thread icon.
- Type your reply.
- Send your message.
View all threads
Select Threads at the top of your left sidebar to see all the conversations that you’re following, where threads with unread replies will appear at the top of the list. From your Threads view, you can do the following:
- Reply to any thread
- Select a thread to open it in the original conversation.
- Unfollow a thread if you'd no longer like to be notified of new replies.
Benefits of Threads:
- Threads improve the ability to work asynchronously – Manage to handle old/new messages and catching up on several hours later.
- Keep announcement channels clear.
- Transparent and Sticky.
- Join the conversation at your convenience.
- Organize the message for future referrals.
