# Finding Shared Conversations

Every conversation you can open lives in one panel, headed **Conversations**, alongside a
refresh control and a button for starting a new one.

## The three tabs

The panel is one list at a time. Pick which:

| Tab          | Shows                                        |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------------- |
| **Personal** | Conversations you own.                       |
| **Team**     | Conversations shared with the whole account. |
| **Shared**   | Conversations a colleague invited you to.    |

New conversations start in **Personal**, and nothing is shared until its owner says so. The tab
you choose is remembered, so the one you live in is still selected after a reload.

## Narrowing the list

* **Search** — the box above the list filters on the conversation itself, not just what is
  already loaded, so an old thread is findable without scrolling to it.
* **Origin chips** — where a conversation started: Web, Slack or Teams. The chips appear only
  when the list actually holds more than one origin, and they filter within the current tab.

## Reading a row

Rows are ordered by last activity. Each one carries:

* The conversation's **title**.
* Its **origin** badge.
* On the **Shared** tab, a pill naming the **owner** — the person who shared it with you. Its
  tooltip has their full address.
* On your own conversations, an **Invited** pill when you have added people to it.
* The **time** of the last activity.

## Opening one

Click the row. A mention notification links straight to the conversation too — see
[Notifications](/collaboration/unread-badges-notifications).

If you hold read-only access, the conversation opens complete but without a composer, and the
top of it says who shared it with you.

## What you can do with someone else's conversation

A row's overflow menu — **Share…**, **Rename**, **Delete** — appears on your own conversations
only. On a conversation a colleague shared with you there is no menu, because every one of those
actions belongs to its owner.

<Note>
  That means you cannot remove yourself from a conversation someone shared with you, and you
  cannot silence one on its own. Ask the owner to remove you; to quieten mentions generally, use
  the notification preferences instead.
</Note>

## If a conversation disappears

Access was removed by its owner, or the conversation was deleted. Both are the owner's to
reverse — there is no self-service way back in.
