Starting a Thread
Write a title and body
Titles should be specific — “Homepage hero copy feedback” beats “Question”. The body supports rich text, code blocks, and inline images.
Pick a category
Categories are color-coded:
- Design — visual, layout, UX feedback
- Development — code, builds, deploys
- Marketing — copy, campaigns, launches
- Executive — decisions, strategy, approvals
Pick visibility
- Public — anyone on your team can see it
- SaaS only — visible to users with SaaS-level access
- Account only — visible only to account-level members

- File attachments — same drag-and-drop as the original post
- Code blocks — triple-backtick fenced blocks with language highlighting
Converting a Discussion to a Task
When a discussion becomes something actionable, you don’t lose the context — convert it straight into a PM task.Role Badges
Each team member’s name shows their role badge (Owner, Admin, Member, Viewer) — helpful for clients scanning who said what.Project Discussions vs. Hiveku Discussions
| Project Discussions | Hiveku Discussions |
|---|---|
| Scoped to one project | Scoped to the whole account |
| Good for per-project design/dev/marketing work | Good for account-wide announcements, cross-project coordination |
| Lives at Project > Discussion | Lives at top-nav > Discussions |

Ask them to open the project and check the Discussion tab — they should see your post and be able to reply.
Troubleshooting
Teammate can't see my thread
Teammate can't see my thread
Check the visibility setting. Account only hides the thread from SaaS-level members. SaaS only hides it from account-only members. Use Public for team-wide visibility.
Mentions aren't sending notifications
Mentions aren't sending notifications
Check the recipient’s notification preferences (Settings > Notifications). Project Discussion mentions are opt-in per user — if they muted project notifications, they won’t get pinged.
File attachment upload fails
File attachment upload fails
Check file size limit (varies by plan). Unsupported types — executables, archives above the cap — are rejected silently. Compress large images or link to external storage (Drive, Dropbox) for anything oversized.

Converted to task but it didn't appear
Open the PM Projects item in the top nav (not Project > Tasks — that’s scoped to one project). The converted task lives wherever you selected in the convert modal.
