Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
For sharing conversations
Q: Who can I share a conversation or file with?
A: You can share a conversation with anyone in your Yammer network.
Q: Can I share a conversation with someone in an external network?
A: No. You can't share a conversation outside the network in which the conversation is located.
Q: Can I share a private message with another private message or group feed?
A: No. You can't share a private message. However, you can add more network members to your private message.
Q: How many times can I share a conversation?
A: There's no limit to the number of times that you can share a message.
Q: When I share, am I sharing a message, the whole conversation, or both?
A: When you share a conversation with a group, the specific message that you share will appear in the other group's feed, together with a link back to the original conversation. Although members of the group with which you're sharing will see the only specific message that you select to share, a link back to the conversation will accompany the message.
Q: Will replies to shares occur in the original conversation?
A: No. A share in many ways functions like a forwarded email message in the way that it creates its own, new version of the message. When you share a conversation, the message that you share becomes a conversation starter in the group with which you're sharing. The only connection to the original message will be a link back to the original message.
Q: What happens when I share a message from a private group with a public group?
A: Messages from private groups can be shared, but only members of the private group can view the full conversation. Nonmembers see only the specific message that's shared.
