Organizing Threads
Keep your threads organized with pinning, renaming, and sidebar sections.
As you accumulate threads from investigations, keeping them organized helps you find important conversations quickly. Sazabi provides several tools for thread organization.
Sidebar sections
The sidebar organizes threads into three sections based on visibility and pinning status.
| Section | Contents |
|---|---|
| Pinned | Threads you have pinned, regardless of visibility |
| Organization | Organization-wide threads visible to all team members |
| Personal | Private threads visible only to you |
Within each section, threads are sorted by most recent activity. New messages and assistant responses move threads to the top of their section.
Switching between sections
Click a section header to expand or collapse it. All three sections can be open simultaneously, or you can collapse sections you do not need to reduce visual clutter.
Pinning threads
Pin important threads to keep them at the top of your sidebar. Pinned threads appear in a dedicated section above team and personal threads.
How to pin a thread
You can pin a thread in several ways:
- From the thread menu: Click the three-dot menu on any thread in the sidebar and select Pin to sidebar.
- From the command palette: Press
Cmd/Ctrl + K, search for "pin", and select Pin to sidebar. - From the thread header: Open the thread, click the menu in the header, and select Pin to sidebar.
Unpinning threads
To unpin a thread, use the same methods above but select Unpin from sidebar. The thread returns to either the Team or Personal section based on its visibility setting.
Pinning is personal to you. When you pin a team thread, other team members do not see it pinned in their sidebar.
Renaming threads
By default, Sazabi generates a title for each thread based on your initial message. You can rename threads to make them easier to identify later.
How to rename a thread
- From the thread menu: Click the three-dot menu on any thread in the sidebar and select Rename.
- From the command palette: Press
Cmd/Ctrl + K, search for "rename", and select Rename. - From the thread header: Open the thread, click the menu in the header, and select Rename.
After selecting rename, type the new title and press Enter to save.
Naming conventions
Consider using consistent naming conventions to make threads easier to scan:
- Include dates:
2024-03-15 Checkout outage - Include services:
payment-gateway 503 investigation - Include status:
[Resolved] Memory leak in worker pods
Search and filtering
Use search to find threads across your entire project history.
Basic search
- Press
Cmd/Ctrl + Kto open the command palette. - Type your search query. Results appear as you type.
- Click a result or press
Enterto open the thread.
Search looks at thread titles and message content. Results are ranked by relevance to your query.
Search tips
- Exact phrases: Search for exact phrases by typing them naturally. The search matches words that appear together.
- Service names: Search for specific services like
checkout-serviceorapi-gatewayto find related investigations. - Error messages: Search for error text like
NullPointerExceptionorconnection refusedto find threads where that error was discussed.
Search only returns threads you have access to. You will not see results from private threads belonging to other team members.
Thread visibility
Threads can be either organization-wide or private.
| Visibility | Who can see it |
|---|---|
| Organization | All members of your organization |
| Private | Only you |
Changing visibility
- Open the thread you want to modify.
- Click the thread menu in the header.
- Select Move to organization or Move to personal.
Alternatively, use the command palette (Cmd/Ctrl + K) and search for
"move to organization" or "move to personal".
Moving a thread from organization to personal removes access for other team members. They will no longer see the thread in their sidebar or search results.
Quick actions via command palette
The command palette provides fast access to all thread organization actions.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| Pin to sidebar | Pin the current thread |
| Unpin from sidebar | Unpin the current thread |
| Rename | Rename the current thread |
| Move to organization | Make the thread visible to your team |
| Move to personal | Make the thread private |
| Copy link | Copy a shareable link to the thread |
Open the command palette with Cmd/Ctrl + K and start typing to filter
available actions.

Best practices
Keep pinned threads minimal
Pin only threads you actively reference. Too many pinned threads defeats the purpose of having a dedicated section.
Use descriptive names
Rename threads with context that helps you identify them months later. Include the incident date, affected service, or outcome.
Archive completed investigations
When an investigation is complete, consider archiving the thread to keep your active thread list focused. Archived threads remain searchable but do not appear in the sidebar.
