Does anyone know how can i get this "unread" section as well ?
go to Preferences > Channel List > [ ] Turn on All Unreads :)
thanks 😄
Insane in the membrane.
Has this launched fully? I can't find 'start a thread'. I also wonder why they didn't just use a simple CTA like "reply" to 'start a thread'. It seems more natural to me. As most of you, I'm excited to try it. I just wonder if the UI will be effective in getting colleagues to adopt it. I find, for example, that very few people use 'comments' when discussing files, which has a similar UI. They just type into the main chat box. It seems that there is some friction in using the right column, so I imagine conversations will be split between a 'thread' and separate replies. Nevertheless, I like how they have given users the option of a quick, lightweight, side conversation. Another idea might be to support some text input way of linking messages, similar to "@ mentions", but maybe like "re:(thread name)". There is a design challenge to cleanly communicate and specify 'thread names' but could be an interesting power-user feature. I find myself already typing in "re:(blah)" when trying to discuss multiple things in a channel.
I'm not seeing threads either in my Mac version.
Don't see it for my team either
Per the blog post, Threads are progressively rolling out over the next week or so. You'll get them soon!
Interesting it appears now for some of my orgs
This only just rolled out for me today. I too would love to see some sort of custom naming feature to help contextualize threads (i.e., for those kinds of threads that may be recurring conversations versus one-off side chats)
This made my day. Cool that not only did they add threaded messaging to Slack (yay!), but that submitted it to PH. Nice.
A dream come true! Wait, it's not available yet?
Looks to be available in the web version not in the desktop app on mac.
I see. I wonder how the desktop app renders threads made on the web version.
Actually after testing another org it only appeared for one of my teams and to get it in the desktop for that one org I had to restart slack.
We've explored a number of workarounds with bots or integrations, but native Slack thread support was the dream. Plus, it looks incredibly well executed 👍 Excited to start using it 😄
Changes my person game! Fantastic update
#1 requested feature on our team! Great work!

Finally! Great job!
