Make threads private when discussing sensitive information.
What to know:
- You can use the π emoji to create a private thread that is related to a Service Desk issue.
- Making a thread private will create a new direct message thread that will sync to the original issue.
- no longer sync to the issue and cannot be undone.
Making a thread private

- When in a thread associated to a Service Desk issue, select the π icon.
- In the pop-up screen confirming the change to private select Yes, go private.
- The original thread will no longer sync to the issue, and the user will get a message from the bot in the HelpDesk App. The user can now message the bot directly and the new thread will sync to the issue.
