Multiple topics may come up in a single chat, and replies to important questions can get buried under newer messages. This makes it harder to follow a discussion and find the information you need. To make communication easier, GudHub lets you create separate threads linked to specific messages. This allows you to continue a conversation about a particular question, task, or suggestion without cluttering the main chat with messages about different topics. ### What Are Message Threads and Why Use Them [#](https://gudhub.com/tutorials/working-with-chat/threads/#what-are-message-threads-and-why-use-them) A message thread is a conversation linked to a specific message. Instead of sending every reply to the main chat, you can move the discussion into a separate thread. This keeps all messages related to the same topic connected in one place. This is especially useful when you need to discuss a particular message, keep related replies together, avoid mixing different topics, and easily return to the context of previous conversations. ### Where Can You Use Threads in GudHub [#](https://gudhub.com/tutorials/working-with-chat/threads/#where-can-you-use-threads-in-gudhub) You can create threads in **Direct Messages**, **Channels**, and record discussions (**Items**). This means you can continue a separate conversation regardless of where the original question or message appears. In a direct message, a thread helps separate a specific discussion from the rest of the conversation. In a channel, it keeps replies to a particular message together so they don't get mixed up with other topics. When discussing a record, you can use a thread to focus on a specific message related to your work data. **For more information about using GudHub Chat, see our [tutorials](https://gudhub.com/tutorials/working-with-chat/).** The process is the same in all these areas: find the message you want to discuss and select the appropriate action from its menu. ## How to Create a Message Thread in GudHub [#](https://gudhub.com/tutorials/working-with-chat/threads/#how-to-create-a-message-thread-in-gudhub) ### Step 1. Find the message you want to discuss [#](https://gudhub.com/tutorials/working-with-chat/threads/#step-1-find-the-message-you-want-to-discuss) Open the relevant direct message, channel, or record discussion and find the message you want to reply to. ![scr1](https://gudhub.com/assets/images/tutorials/working-with-chat/threads/scr1-2e4898e1a6.png "null") Choose the specific message you want to start a discussion around. This makes it easier for other participants to understand which message the replies in the new thread relate to. ### Step 2. Select “Reply in threads” [#](https://gudhub.com/tutorials/working-with-chat/threads/#step-2-select-reply-in-threads) Click the message you want to discuss and select “Reply in threads”. ![scr2](https://gudhub.com/assets/images/tutorials/working-with-chat/threads/scr2-be269eefcc.png "null") This opens a separate thread linked to the selected message. Use this option whenever you want to continue a particular discussion separately from the main conversation. ### Step 3. Continue the discussion in the thread [#](https://gudhub.com/tutorials/working-with-chat/threads/#step-3-continue-the-discussion-in-the-thread) After selecting **“Reply in threads”**, you can reply to the original message and continue the conversation in the separate thread. Related replies will stay together, while the main chat remains available for other work-related topics. ![scr3](https://gudhub.com/assets/images/tutorials/working-with-chat/threads/scr3-7fe21d3747.png "null") The same process works in direct messages, channels, and record discussions. You don't need to learn a different workflow for each section of the system. ### How to Use Threads to Keep Work Conversations Organized [#](https://gudhub.com/tutorials/working-with-chat/threads/#how-to-use-threads-to-keep-work-conversations-organized) Threads help you organize conversations without creating a separate chat for every question. You can use the main conversation for general messages while keeping detailed questions, clarifications, and replies in threads linked to specific messages. For example, if a team channel contains discussions about several tasks at once, you can start a separate thread for an important question. Participants can exchange ideas, clarify details, and agree on next steps without distracting from other topics in the main chat. ### How to Track Thread Activity [#](https://gudhub.com/tutorials/working-with-chat/threads/#how-to-track-thread-activity) GudHub lets you review activity related to individual threads. To do this, open the Activity window by clicking the bell icon on the system's main screen, then navigate to the **“Threads”** category. This section helps you keep track of thread activity and return to previous discussions. For more information about the Activity window and its categories, see our [separate guide on tracking activity in GudHub](https://gudhub.com/tutorials/working-with-chat/tracking-activity/). ### Keep Your Work Conversations Organized with Threads [#](https://gudhub.com/tutorials/working-with-chat/threads/#keep-your-work-conversations-organized-with-threads) Threads make work conversations clearer and easier to follow. They let you discuss specific messages, keep related replies together, and prevent the main chat from becoming cluttered with messages about different topics. Use **“Reply in threads”** whenever you need to focus on a particular question and keep the discussion in one place. Whether you're communicating through direct messages, a channel, or a record discussion, threads help you keep conversations organized and find the information you need more quickly in GudHub.
