Channels

Text channel

A text channel is a simple channel that you can type in.

Reply chains

A reply chain is a sort-of inline channel which stems from a message. This is meant to be used for small sub-conversations so the main text channel is not cluttered with multiple conversations running through each other.

To initiate a reply chain, you hover over the message you want to reply to, and click the reply icon in the toolbar. You can then type your text in the new input field under the message and send it to create the chain.
