Asynchronous collaboration via a communication platform is described. A message representative of an asynchronous meeting can be displayed via a user interface of a communication platform. The user interface can include an affordance to enable a user to add a snippet of content to the asynchronous meeting. In response to detecting an actuation of the affordance, an input user interface that includes an option to record or upload the snippet of content can be displayed. The snippet of content can be received from a client of a user associated with the asynchronous meeting and can be associated with other snippet(s) of content added by other user(s) associated with the asynchronous meeting. A preview summary of snippet(s) of content associated with the asynchronous meeting can be displayed in association with the message, wherein each snippet of content is viewable via a thread associated with the message.

Asynchronous collaboration in a communication platform

Provided is a group-based communication interface configured to allow members of the interface to communicate within group-based communication channels. The group-based communication interface is configured to relegate selected group-based messaging communications to a separate display pane, where additional messaging communications can be received, thereby maintaining a focused selected group-based communication channel. The selected group-based communication channel is updated to indicate that the selected group-based messaging communications was relegated to a separate display pane, informing the channel members while also allowing the channel members to access the separate display pane if desired. Accordingly, the selected group-based communication interface provides for efficient and focused group-based communications.

Group-based communication interface with subsidiary channel-based thread communications

A group-based communication interface with subsidiary file communications is described. A request to share a file in a feed of a group-based communication platform can be received, wherein the feed comprises a channel, a thread, or a direct message associated with a group of the group-based communication platform. A representation of the file can be rendered in a user interface presented via client device(s) of user(s) associated with the group, wherein the representation of the file is associated with an engageable link for accessing the file, and wherein a thread summary indicator, representing a thread of message(s) associated with the file, is presented proximate the representation of the file. Based at least in part on receiving an indication of an interaction with the thread summary indicator, the message(s) associated with the thread can be rendered in the user interface proximate the representation of the file.

Group-based communication interface with subsidiary file communications

Provided is a group-based communication interface configured to efficiently share files among a plurality of group-based communication feeds. Each file share may initiate a subsidiary group-based communication feed to organize and manage discussions regarding shared files. The subsidiary group-based communication feed is unique to the particular file share. Subsequent file shares of the file initiate additional subsidiary group-based communication feeds, such that each discussion stemming from a file share does not overlap with another discussion regarding a different file share of the same file.
