[2026.06.25] Group Chat to Topic Conversion

Convert your group chat to a topic and communicate with more members.

I want to convert my group chat to a topic

Group chats are limited to 10 members. To communicate with more people, you previously had to create a new topic, but thanks to your feedback, we've added the ability to convert group chats to topics directly! 🎉

You can now convert an existing group chat to a topic, keeping all your chat history intact while collaborating with even more members.

⚠️ This feature is available on Enterprise plans and above.

  1. Click More options [...] in the top right of the chat > [Edit info]

  1. Click [Convert to Topic] in the Edit info screen.*The topic will be set to private upon conversion.

  1. Enter the topic name and description, then click [Confirm]

Please note that once a group chat is converted to a topic, it cannot be reverted back to a chat.

  1. The converted chat will be available in your topic list.(The member who converts the group chat will automatically be assigned as the topic admin.)

  1. Tap the menu icon [≡] in the top right of the chat > select the chat name.

  1. Tap Convert to Topic at the bottom of the Edit info screen.

Please note that once a group chat is converted to a topic, it cannot be reverted back to a chat.

If the group chat includes associate members, conversion may not be available due to the associate member topic participation limit (max. 5 topics).

Who can convert a group chat to a topic?

Any member with full member permissions or above can convert a group chat to a topic.

The member who performs the conversion will automatically be assigned as the topic admin.

How is the topic's visibility set after conversion?

When converting from a group chat, the topic will be created as a private chat view topic. You can change the visibility to public in the topic settings after conversion. Please note that conversion to a board-view topic is not currently supported.

Will members be notified when a group chat is converted?

At this time, no automatic notification is sent to members.

We recommend letting everyone in the group chat know before converting, so the transition goes smoothly for the whole team.

Are there any cases where conversion is not possible?

Conversion may not be available in the following cases.

  • 1:1 chats cannot be converted to a topic.

  • If the group chat includes an associate member who has already reached the maximum topic participation limit (5 topics), conversion will not be available.
