Live topic mode

You can activate "Live topic mode" in a topic by using the slash command /live.

Live topics are the opposite of "async" topics, it differs in the following ways:

• When a user posts to the topic, all other participants are notified through push messages
• Live topics are marked in red in the topic list, and always listed on top

You can use live topic mode for any topic that is time critical:

• Emergencies
• Questions that can't wait
• etc

As Cyans is designed for asynchronous communication, it is of course discouraged to use live topics unless strictly necessary.

The live topic feature allows you to use both synchronous and asynchronous communication in a single application, without the need to use an extra chat application on the side for synchronous scenarios.

Once a topic is no longer live, use slash command /live-close to de-activate live topic mode.
