Threads appear in two places: at most three of them under the channel row in the navigation column, and all of them on the channel's Threads tab.
Under the channel row
The navigation column lends each channel up to three thread rows. Which three depends on the channel:
- For the channel you have open, the rows are its live discussions, ordered so that anything needing you comes first: mentions, then more unread replies, then threads you marked as unread, then most recent activity.
- For any other channel, only threads that need you appear at all.
Below those rows, All threads ({{count}}) opens the Threads tab. When more threads need you than fit, the list adds {{count}} more unread threads and {{total}} more mentioning you.
Muted threads never appear on the unread path. In the Unread and Mentions views of the navigation column, thread rows are hidden entirely so that one row means one conversation.
The Threads tab
Open a channel and choose Threads in the channel header. The tab lists every thread with who started it, its reply count, its last activity, and its state: Open, Resolved, or Closed. Three controls narrow the list: a status filter, a name search, and Unread and mentions only.
Each row has its own menu with Rename thread, Mark as read or Mark as unread, and the thread's notification level.
An empty tab reads No threads yet with Threads start from a message: open its message actions and choose Reply in thread.
Standalone threads
A thread normally hangs off a message. You can also start one from the channel row's context menu with Create thread, which asks for a Thread name and opens the thread on its own page.
Hiding old threads
A Space administrator can set how long an idle thread stays in the lists, under Space settings on the overview, as Hide inactive threads after. The description is Keeps channel lists tidy without archiving or deleting threads. A channel can override the Space value with Use Space default, a number of days, or Never.
