Collaboration / Write a chat message
Oneflow offers two different ways to engage in discussions within your documents: the classic chat and comments.
INCLUDED IN
Depending on your price plan you might only have access to the chat feature.
Comments is available for the price plan Business and above.
Collaboration / Chat
Chat is the classic feature that enables direct communication with participants inside the document. Once you send the document your invitation will be added as the first chat to the document.
Comments (new)
Comments is the new feature that lets you discuss the content, either internally or publicly, by highlighting text and having to resolve these comments.
Write a message in Oneflow
- Go to documents > Open a document.
- Click on Collaboration > Chat > Write your message in the chat tab.
- Choose if you want to post a Public message, i. e. everyone will be able to see it, or an Internal chat, i.e., only you or your colleagues will be able see it.
INFORMATION
The participants will receive a notification via the chosen delivery method informing them of your message with the link to the document.
Internal & public chats messages
Internal message
They are visible to all colleagues within the document, regardless of whether you direct the chat message to a specific colleague or not. Directing a chat message to a specific colleague means that only that colleague will receive a notification about the added message, but it will still be visible to all internal participants.
Public message
They are visible to everyone invited to the document. Via the tag function (@), you have the opportunity to direct the chat message to a unique participant. This means that when you select a specific participant, only that person will receive a message notification. But all participants will still see the chat messages in Oneflow.
