5.6 Contact and group info
Click the person's or group's name at the top of a conversation, or the View more button under their avatar, to open the info panel. It has two tabs -
- Contact Info: For individual contacts, displays the person's email address with a copy icon and their local time. For groups, displays the group description, member list with Admin badges, and a member search box.
- Admin View (Admins Only): Admins can access the three-dot menu next to each member's name to Add as Admin or Remove Admin.
- Add New Members: On the right side of the group Info page, select Add New Members to view the list of available users. Select the checkbox next to each user you want to add, then click Add to include them in the group.
- Pinned Messages: Displays all messages pinned in the conversation.
- Edit Group Details: An Edit button appears next to the group name. Select it to modify the group description, then click Update to save the changes.
Group Options:
- Admin: Can access Archive Group and Leave Group options.
- Non-Admin: Can access only the Leave Group option.
For a colleague, the video and phone icons under the name start a video call or a voice call. Your own profile card (opened with View more in your own space) has no call icons. Click X to close the panel.
Managing a group (group admins)
The person who creates a group is its Admin. Group admins see extra tools in the group info panel:
- Pencil icon next to the group name lets you change the group name and its description. Each box has an emoji button. Click Update to save.
- Add new member opens Add Members. Search for colleagues, tick the people to add and click Add, or Cancel.
- More (...) next to a member opens Add as admin, which gives that person admin rights, and Remove, which takes them out of the group. For someone who is already an admin, the first option is Remove as admin.
- Archive Group closes the group for everyone. Leave Group removes only you.
