Before you begin
You must be an explicit participant or eligible chapter member for the conversation. Position alone does not grant access to unrelated DMs.
Steps
- 1
Open Messages and select an existing conversation or create one you are permitted to start.
- 2
Add allowed participants to a group or use a chapter channel.
- 3
Send text or an allowed private attachment; use Retry if a send fails.
- 4
Edit or remove your eligible message, manage read state, and use mute, block, or report controls when needed.
Important notes
- Prospects never enter active-member internal chat.
- Messages are encrypted in transit and at rest, but they are not end-to-end encrypted. Moderation and audit records may preserve necessary history.
- Cross-device realtime behavior exists, but a multi-real-user field test remains pending.
