Top Tips and Tricks for Posting within a Teams Channel



Top Tips and Tricks for Posting within a Teams ChannelTop tip #1: Add a subject to your postsYou should format your post when you start a post. At the very least this gives you the ability to add a subject to the thread. It also gives you rich editing capabilities and avoids the mistake of hitting enter too soon. You turn your post into an announcement and even choose if you want to allow replies.Do this by clicking on the 'A' icon with the paint brush. tip #2: Keep your replies in a conversationThere are often multiple different threads of conversation happening while in a channel. To avoid missing the context of a reply, ensure that you reply to the thread. This allows for a great view of the conversation and the original poster will be alerted that there is a reply. tip #3: Configure notification settingsYou can subscribe to get notifications of new posts for any channel. This is part of the reason why we have the channel structure so that you can be alerts for conversations happening on topics you find important. Think of this as subscribing to a topic of conversation from social media. tip #4: Use @mentions to get attentionAs a message poster you may not know if others in the team or channel have subscribed for notifications. Get their attention by @mentioning them. You can @mention a specific person, a channel to alert everyone who has the channel 'shown', or the team to make sure everyone in the team gets an alert. This is particularly powerful when making an announcement.: Don't overuse channel or team mentions in large teams - you may be notifying 1000s of people! ................
