How do I end a collaboration chat?

When a chat or conference is completed, you can end the conversation and save the thread in your History.

If you leave a conversation, you aren't notified about the new messages in the conversation, but you can still view the conversation in the History tab. If you don’t end the conversation, the thread is still active in the main window.

Note: A conference doesn't end until the last user leaves the conversation. The conversation might continue after you leave. You can access the thread in History to view the complete conversation. If there are no messages for 12 days, the chat will automatically expire, and the end date will be updated accordingly.

1. Navigate to an active chat or conference.
2. From the Collaboration window, click the options menu .
3. Click Leave Conversation.
   The sender is notified with the {User name} has left the conversation message. To keep chatting with a user who has left the conversation, type another message into the existing chat window. The addressee is re-invited to the chat.
