    Article Summary

    Members of a workspace can review a list of discussion threads posted to the workspace on the Discuss tab. Each discussion will display the following information:

    • Discussion poster: The user who posted the discussion will be displayed, with their name and profile picture linking to their profile page
    • Timestamp: Shows when the discussion was posted
    • Content: The discussion content posted by the user
    • Likes and comments: The number of likes and comments from workspace participants

    On the discussion tab each card will only show an excerpt of the discussion text. To see the entire post you can click the icon of three dots (), then View full discussion. Workspace members can also select Copy link from the same menu to copy the URL of the post.

    Other users can comment on the original post by clicking the Comment button, or reply to other users' comments by clicking Reply. By default, replies to comments will be hidden, but can be revealed by clicking Show replies. Once there are several comments on a discussion, only the most recent comment will be displayed. You can either click View earlier comments to expand the comments on the Discuss tab, or View full discussion to see the discussion in full. Members of the workspace can also like the discussion as a whole or individual comments within it, showing that they enjoy or appreciate the content.
