Move conversations in yammer

Sometimes the Yammer group you first post a message to isn't the right one. Any user can move a conversation, poll, or praise to a different group in order to make sure the right people see it.

  1. Find the first message in the conversation you want to move.

  2. In the first message, click the More menu More icon (...) , and then click Move Conversation.

  4. Click Move. The conversation is moved to the new group.

FAQ

Q: Who can move a conversation?

A: Any user with access to a conversation can move it.

Q: Who can see the conversation after it's moved?

A: All conversation participants before the move and all users with access to the new group can see the conversation after it's moved. 

Q: Are files in the conversation moved to the new group?
