Discussions

Discussions is the searchable record of every message synced from your activated Slack channels. Use it to find a conversation without scrolling Slack, to read a thread with its engagement in one view, and to control which threads appear on your public community site. Open it at Discussions in the Studio sidebar.

​

The Discussions list

Each row is a top-level message. The table shows: Search by content or author, filter by team membership and member type, and sort by date, reactions, or replies. Sorting by replies is the fastest way to find the conversations worth promoting to your site.

​

Reading a thread

Click any message to open its detail page. You get the full thread in order, plus a details panel showing the Source, Sent at, Edited at, Deleted at, Synced to site at, and Latest activity at timestamps. Synced to site at is the one to check when a member reports that a thread is missing from your site: if it is empty, the thread was never published.

​

Publishing to your community site

Publishing is how a Slack conversation becomes a public page. Open the actions menu on any message and choose Publish to site or Unpublish from site. Comments can be published and unpublished individually. Unpublishing a single comment hides just that comment from the post page, leaving the rest of the thread intact. This is the tool to reach for when one reply in an otherwise useful thread should not be public. Studio asks you to confirm before either action, and tells you which cascade applies.
