Keep a follow-up in its existing conversation

Open the relevant thread before writing a reply about the same issue.

Updated 2026-11-11

When your question follows an existing discussion, open that conversation in Messages and use the message box at the bottom. This keeps the previous answers and your new information together.

Check the thread title before typing, particularly after changing search or status filters. On a wider screen, the page can select a different visible conversation automatically when the earlier selection no longer matches the filters.

Refer to the specific earlier question or document, then state what changed or remains unresolved. Choose Send and verify that the new message appears in the thread. The input clearing after a successful send is another indication that the interface accepted the message.

Use New for a separate topic that benefits from its own subject. Do not start a new thread solely because the existing conversation is marked Resolved; first find it with the status filter and determine whether your follow-up belongs to the same issue. If the team asks for a separate request, include the original conversation context there.
