Replies, mentions, and reactions
Replies, mentions, and reactions keep conversations clear without creating extra messages for every small response.
Reply in a thread
Use Reply when you want to answer a specific message without interrupting the main channel timeline.

Add a reaction
Use Add reaction to acknowledge a message quickly.

Common reactions include approval, thanks, celebration, or urgency.
Mention someone
Type @ and start entering a teammate's name to mention them in a message. Mentions are useful when a message needs a specific person's attention.
