**Messages** is your direct line to the Fatstep team, right inside the app.

**Start a conversation**
Go to **Messages** and choose **Message the team**. Pick a topic:
- **General question** - anything not tied to a specific release.
- **About a release** - choose the release, so we have the context.

Write your message and send. We reply in the same thread.

**Staying in the loop**
- The **bell** at the top shows new replies. A "new" badge marks unread threads.
- Open a thread to read and reply. Your messages are labelled "You"; ours are labelled "Team".

**Open and closed topics**
A thread can be marked **closed** when a question is resolved. If you send a new message on a closed topic, it simply reopens.

**Message from a release**
You can also start a message directly from a release page when your question is about that release, and it will be linked automatically.
