Project chat

Chat is a shared conversation of the project team. It is on the project’s Chat tab, which is ticked in the project menu (Functionalities, see Project functionalities). Anyone with access to the project can read and write. The tab shows a counter of new messages the user has not read yet.

Talking in the project chat

1. Open the Chat tab in the project.
2. Type your message in the box at the bottom of the screen. You can format the text and attach a file.
3. Click Send.

New messages appear instantly for everyone who has the chat open. When the conversation is scrolled up, the application shows a button telling you there are new messages. An empty chat says No messages. Start the conversation below.

To get someone’s attention, type @ and pick the person from the list. They receive an in-app notification and, if their Mentions in comments notification is on, an email as well. Other participants are not notified about ordinary messages.

You can edit or delete your own message. An edited message is marked Edited. Other people’s messages cannot be changed or deleted, not even by an administrator.

Note: in an archived project, mentions do not send emails.
