Redwood: Use New Buyer Experience for Negotiation Messages

You can now enable the redesigned messaging experience for category managers and collaboration team members. With a modern and simplified user interface, you can search, compose, and respond to messages easily and efficiently.

With the new search functionality, it's easier to find past messages without scrolling through the entire message history. When a message contains attachments, you’ll see an attachment icon beside that message. This visual cue ensures that you can quickly spot the messages having attachments. When amendments are created for a negotiation, you can view the messages from previous negotiations of the amendment on the same page. This allows you to seamlessly track changes, review past discussions and make informed decisions without switching between different screens.
