/live

/prio [p1,p2,p3,p4,p5]

Assign a priority to a topic. Default priority is 3 (mid).

Priorities are intentionally course grained and not intended for full chronological sorting of work (use project planning tools this use-case instead).

Use this functionality to communicate priority to other participants in the topic between urgent (p1) and background (p5) topics (no rush).

You can use the following priority aliases:

/delete

Delete a message. See Deleting messages for more information.
