Nectir

Create a breakout sub-channel (used to be called "Discussion") for you and your students to exchange ideas instantaneously within your existing class channel. Sub-channels are great for keeping messages or conversations contained within a page, rather than cluttering your class channel. 

The sub-channels that you have joined can be accessed on the left-hand bar at any time, under "Sub-Channels". 

To create a sub-channel within your channel:

Go to your Nectir workspace and click the pen and paper icon 📝 in the top left corner of your sidebar.

Select "Sub-Channel" in the drop-down menu.

You will see a pop up screen to enter the information for your sub-channel.

Note: Users in your parent channel are not automatically added to each sub-channel. Although they can see and join it themselves.

To auto-invite everyone from your channel into the sub-channel:

In the message box, type "/invite-all-from".

An option will appear showing you how to format this invite function, select that and continue typing as the format shows.

Your message will end up looking like this: /invite-all-from #YourParentChannelName

Once you send this message, your students in that channel will be auto-added to the sub-channel.

This will work for both private and public channels.
