From e46d3705de8cee7f8d21b6d080133ad526a45e51 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rishi Gupta Date: Sun, 16 Sep 2018 14:42:22 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] user docs: Remove several "send a message" docs. These are now subsumed by compose-and-reply. Probably we'll want to write a "PMs and Group PMs" doc at some point so that we have something if people search for whether Zulip has Group PMs. --- .../zerver/help/include/sidebar_index.md | 4 - templates/zerver/help/reply-to-a-message.md | 55 ------------ ...end-a-group-of-people-a-private-message.md | 33 ------- .../zerver/help/send-a-private-message.md | 87 ------------------- .../zerver/help/send-a-stream-message.md | 37 -------- ...your-message-has-been-successfully-sent.md | 4 +- 6 files changed, 1 insertion(+), 219 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 templates/zerver/help/reply-to-a-message.md delete mode 100644 templates/zerver/help/send-a-group-of-people-a-private-message.md delete mode 100644 templates/zerver/help/send-a-private-message.md delete mode 100644 templates/zerver/help/send-a-stream-message.md diff --git a/templates/zerver/help/include/sidebar_index.md b/templates/zerver/help/include/sidebar_index.md index 51c06736ed..bfa44a20b9 100644 --- a/templates/zerver/help/include/sidebar_index.md +++ b/templates/zerver/help/include/sidebar_index.md @@ -23,9 +23,6 @@ ## Sending messages * [Compose and reply](/help/compose-and-reply) -* [Send a stream message](/help/send-a-stream-message) -* [Private messages](/help/send-a-private-message) -* [Group private messages](/help/send-a-group-of-people-a-private-message) * [Format messages using Markdown](/help/format-your-message-using-markdown) * [Preview messages before sending](/help/preview-your-message-before-sending) * [Message drafts](/help/view-and-edit-your-message-drafts) @@ -40,7 +37,6 @@ * [Status messages](/help/format-your-message-using-markdown#status-messages) * [@-mention a user](/help/at-mention-a-team-member) * [Write in a different language](/help/send-a-message-in-a-different-language) -* [Reply to a message](/help/reply-to-a-message) * [Edit or delete a message](/help/edit-or-delete-a-message) * [Message a stream by email](/help/message-a-stream-by-email) * [Notify everyone on a stream](/help/notify-everyone-on-a-stream) diff --git a/templates/zerver/help/reply-to-a-message.md b/templates/zerver/help/reply-to-a-message.md deleted file mode 100644 index 52215d4781..0000000000 --- a/templates/zerver/help/reply-to-a-message.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,55 +0,0 @@ -# Reply to a message -There are three ways to reply to a message in Zulip: by clicking on a -message, through the message actions dropdown, or by using keyboard -shortcuts. - -## Reply to a message by clicking on a message -1.
