What are messages?

Messages are direct communications with your connections, page administrators, and Engage administrators. Send messages to get private support from tutors, have group conversations with course colleagues, or just say hi to your friends.

For messages in your inbox, you can do the following:

  • Reply to messages.
  • View the message thread.
  • Show only unread messages.
  • Archive messages. Archived messages stay in your inbox indefinitely. You can still send messages in archived messages.

When you create a message, you can find and add connections quickly to start the conversation and give your message a title to help recipients understand the subject. You can make message recipients message administrators once the conversation has started. Message administrators can also edit the title and add or remove participants.

The image Your messages illustrates how messages are listed in the inbox, including participant profile photo, name, if participants are staff, and the last message on the message thread, with the option to archive the message.
