# Send someone a private message
|
|
|
|
Instead of composing a new private message through the compose box,
|
|
you can compose a private message to someone using the user list.
|
|
|
|
1. In the user list on the right sidebar, hover over the name of the user
|
|
you want to privately message to reveal a down chevron (<i
|
|
class="icon-vector-chevron-down"></i>) icon to the right of the user's name.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
You can search for a specific user by entering the user's name in
|
|
the **Search users** input.
|
|
|
|
2. Click on the {!down-chevron.md!} Select the **Compose a message to
|
|
(user's name)** option from the actions dropdown. This will open the
|
|
compose box with the target user as the recipient.
|
|
|
|
3. Type your message.
|
|
|
|
4. Once you have completed your message, you can now send your message
|
|
to the specified user by pressing the Enter key or clicking the **Send**
|
|
button, depending on your settings.
|
|
|
|
## View your private message history with a user and compose
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to look at your message history with a user while you
|
|
compose your message, do the following:
|
|
|
|
1. In the user list on the right sidebar, click on the name of the user
|
|
you want to privately message.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
You can search for a specific user by entering the user's name in
|
|
the **Search users** input.
|
|
|
|
2. Upon clicking on the user's name, your view will be narrowed to your
|
|
private message history with the selected user, and the compose box will be
|
|
transformed to include the selected user's email address in the
|
|
**one or more people...** field.
