Are threaded (indented) discussions available?

Good day everyone,
In longer discussions with multiple participants, it makes things easier to follow when you can reply to a particular poster and the location of your reply is based on who you reply to rather than when you replied in the discussion.
Is the "Quote" feature the best way to do this?

Thank you,
Toby

    Hey @Tmetcalf ! You ask a great question and it is super exciting that we ARE getting some impressive threaded discussion features in the near future! Saw a demo earlier this week and I am very much looking forward to not only having clearer discussions and comments but the options we will have with how it operates :) In the meantime, the quote feature is the best way to move forward with helping clarify whether you are responding to the original post or a comment in the thread…

    @HollyR thanks for checking in!

    Nested comments are currently scheduled to go out with release 2025.001 (hitting staging sites the week of January 27th). It's possible it will be delayed if something comes up in last minute testing but so far that's how it's looking.

    Hey @Tmetcalf - yes this will need to be configured, it's an optional feature. We will have documentation ready with the release to explain how you can set it up.

    @Shauna @Heather Wendt Do either of you have a date for when the threaded discussions will be available in prod? We are about ready to launch Layout Editor and would like to do it all at the same time, if possible. Thanks!

    @HollyR there are a few last features we wanted to add in before recommending folks get it on prod (signatures, bulk selection of comments, etc) that we are just finishing up now. I am waiting on the precise release, but it will be either Dec or Jan! I'll tag you with more precise details when we make that post :)

    @Shauna Happy new year! Since threaded discussions didn't launch in December, is it still planned for January? Thanks :)

    Thanks @Kirstie Macfarlane
    My community launches in February; is there anything I need to do to enable this or will it simply happen?
    Cheers!
