How do I add new people to an existing Conversation?

Click the Inbox link.

Select an existing Conversation. You can add people to the conversation if the people icon displays at least three individuals instead of a single profile picture.

The first two names of Conversation participants will be listed followed by a blue link that says "...other" [1], with the number of additional recipients. Hover over the "other" link if you want to see who else is included .

Click the Add People... link [2] to open the Add Recipients dialog box.

Start to type a name, course, or group in the the text field [1], or click the Address Book icon [2] to see a list of courses and groups.

Move your cursor over the course with the participants you would like to add to the Conversation. Click the arrow to the right of the course name to open the course roster.

Locate the recipient you would like to add and click the checkbox next to their name. Hit Return (on a MAC keyboard ) or Enter (on a PC keyboard) when you are done.

Click the Add People button.

The "other" link will update the total number of people involved in the conversation [1]. In addition, a new status line will be inserted into the message list notifying participants that someone has been added [2]. You can always add more people again by clicking the Add People button. In this example, Emily and Max were added, bringing the total to 3 additional people in the conversation.

Newly added participants will be able to read and comment on the entire Conversation, even the messages that were posted before they were added.
