Threads sent to the group can be public, depending on visibility settings. * **Asking Questions or Sharing Problems**: Sending messages to a group chat isn't stressful when you can [turn any message into a new thread](https://www.notion.so/o/XsufMgnMdGDV6LnvD5HN/s/5yStw8wuIeWBdGOh81bd/~/changes/54/conversations/reply-in-new-thread) if needed to keep it organized! * **Inbox Notifications**: Groups with new messages in their group chats will appear in the Groups section of your Inbox with the name bolded, or a red badge if you're @ mentioned. Groups that have been active within the last week will stay in the Groups section of your Inbox. * **Accessing Inactive Group Chats**: If a group chat hasn't been active recently, you can find the group in the **Directory**. Send a message, and it will reappear in your Inbox sidebar as a recent chat. * See the stream of all chats and threads in one place.
