You can! If you click the not-quite-a-hamburger menu on any post, \u201cCopy link\u201d will copy place a link to that post in your clipboard.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What do you do with a link to a post? Paste it somewhere \ud83d\ude0a Paste it where<\/em>?! I use the URLs in code comments \u2013 we\u2019ve had a discussion about how to implement a function. A link to that discussion is great supplemental documentation to my quick \u201c# We\u2019re doing this here\u201d summary comment. I\u2019ve included them in documentation footnotes. I add these links in Planner tasks \u2013 a reminder of what exactly the task entails. When reviewing my goals for the year, I can include a link to the Teams post where I discuss progress and announce the completion of the task.<\/p>\n

I use these links to work around a Teams limitation too \u2013 you cannot move items between threads and channels. If a discussion becomes involved enough to warrant its own channel (or even Teams space), I can start<\/em> the new channel discussion with a link to the previous conversation thread.<\/p>\n

When you send e-mail to a channel<\/a>, the message starts a new thread. As an example, if you\u2019ve been discussing an opportunity in Teams, you can BCC the Teams channel when sending a proposal to the customer. This is great for ensuring Teams has as much information about the opportunity as possible, but<\/em> that e-mail creates a new thread.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Simply include a link to the e-mail thread in the discussion thread and you\u2019ll be able to correlate the items (I don\u2019t, but you could get a link to the original discussion and include it as a reply to the message thread as well)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Caveat<\/em>: Use thread links in locations that are generally accessible only by Team members. Only individuals with access to the Teams space can use the thread link to read the thread.<\/em> Individuals who are not<\/em> members of the Team will generate a request to join the Team when they use the link.<\/p>\n
