Silencing Threads 

  • Threads of conversations in the inbox from public messages can be silenced by users to move them out of your normal inbox view. This is useful if lots of messages are coming through on a social media post but you may need to deal with other messages first. 
  • This permission in the Inbox settings will allow all users to silence threads or by selecting 'No' only admin users will be allowed to do this.
