Start a Conversation

You can start a general conversation in a space and invite people to participate.

To start a conversation:

1. Navigate to the space in which you want to start a conversation in. Alternatively, you can start a conversation from your Home page, and then select the space when creating the conversation.
2. On the Conversations page, click + Add Conversation.
3. In the New Conversation dialog box, enter a subject for the conversation in the Subject field. This is the topic of the conversation and should be limited to a few words.
4. Click in the People field, and select the people or groups that you want to involve in the conversation. Only people that you add to the conversation can view it. If you want to give access to everyone in the space then you can add the Everyone group.
5. Click in the Space Tags field, and select one or more space tags to assign to the conversation. This step is optional. Space tags are used to group related conversations and documents, and users can then filter content within a space by selecting one or more tags. If you require a tag to be created, you should contact an owner of the space.
6. In the Comment field, enter the first comment for the conversation. This could be a brief summary of what the conversation is about. A number of options are available:

   Field	Description
   	Mark your comment as urgent or high priority.
   	Mention a member or group in your comment. Members are notified when they are mentioned in comments.
   	Attach a file to your comment.
   	Apply formatting to selected text.

7. Click Add.
