Archiving a conversation

Last updated:

You can archive a conversation in Circuit (direct or group conversation, Conference Bridge or Community) in order to hide it from the active conversation list. Archived conversations are separated from your other, active conversations and displayed in a different view (Archived). You can still be a member of an archived conversation and participate in at any time.

Once a group conversation, Conference Bridge or Community is archived, you will no longer receive notifications for this. Active conference calls that have started from an archived group conversation or Conference Bridge are displayed at the top of the conversation selector (pane on the left) only when you are viewing your Archived conversations. When someone rings you out on a Circuit client trying to add you in such a conference call in progress, i.e. a call that has started from an archived group conversation or Conference Bridge, the active call is displayed at the top of the selector regardless of the conversation filter selected.

You can unarchive a conversation (direct or group conversation, Conference Bridge or Community) anytime you want.
