Discuss and share

Bring colleagues into a record, session or channel with "Discuss with…", and who can read a share.

Use Discuss with… when you want colleagues to look at something with you. The people you choose get it in their Inbox, and you talk about it together on the share's page.

Start a discussion

Discuss with… is offered:

  • on a record, beside Watch; and
  • in the menu of a session or channel in the sidebar.

Choose the people under With, add a First comment if you like, and choose Share. Its title and link go, with your comment, to the people you chose, from you. The share's page then opens, where the discussion carries on.

Guests don't see Discuss with…. To share an email, use Twin Desk.

What colleagues see

  • The share appears in their Inbox, named by its title, and they are notified as their notification settings say.
  • On the share's page they can comment, react and @mention other people in the share.
  • A share never gives anyone access to the thing itself. They see its title. Opening the record, session or channel still needs their own access to it.

Who can read a share

WhoCan they read it?
The people in itYes
Everyone who can read the channel, for a share moved to a channelYes
Organisation adminsOnly by choosing to open it. Each such read is recorded
Guests, people outside your organisation, and API keysNo

Someone who can't read a share is told it isn't available, without learning whether it exists.

Work with a share

From the share's page you can:

  • Move to a channel, so everyone who can read the channel can follow it;
  • Make a record from it;
  • mark it Done, which takes it out of your Inbox, or Reopen it;
  • Leave it. You won't see it again unless someone adds you back; or
  • if you made it, Delete it. It's deleted for everyone in it, with its discussion and files.
