Chat with collaborators inside a planner

Every shared planner has its own chat. Select the chat button at the top right of the planner page to open it.

A planner you share has its own Planner Chat, so you can talk about the planner right beside it.

  1. Select the chat button, a speech bubble at the top right of the planner page. An orange dot shows there are messages you haven't read.
  2. Type in Type a message... and press Enter or the send button. Shift + Enter starts a new line.
  3. Select the chat button again, or the X, to close it.

Point at a message, or tap it on a phone or tablet, and select the three dots beside it to react with an emoji, Reply, Pin or Unpin it, or Edit or Delete a message of your own. An edited message says "(edited)" for everyone. The pin at the top of the chat lists Pinned Messages.

Good to know

Until you've added someone, the chat says Add a Collaborator to Start. Collaborators with Can view only see the chat if you let everyone in. See Choose who sees the chat, and mute, search or clear it.

When someone writes in a planner's chat, the bell at the top of the app says you have unread messages in that planner, once for all of them. Selecting it opens the planner. For a planner shared with you, this starts after you have opened the planner once.

Good to know

A copy of a planner starts with no collaborators and no chat.
