This new update makes Yammer conversations better by providing several new features. See below for what’s coming to desktop, web mobile, and Mac:

  • Nested Replies: Yammer now has one level deep nesting which preserves the context around conversations, by grouping nesting replies to a comment, underneath the comment:
  • Deep linking: Clicking on notifications in Yammer now takes you to the exact message that triggered the notification:
  • Delete Message: Yammer now allows you to delete parts of a thread while still preserving the context around the discussion. The deleted content is replaced by a message that states this message has been deleted:
  • Bi-directional Pagination: When you land in the middle of a long thread on Yammer, you will now be able to unroll the conversation in both directions (upwards and downwards pagination)
  • Feed Sorting: You now have the option to sort the community feed which allows recent posts to show up first, ensuring your community feeds are easier to scan (Available now, currently only on web):

What you need to do to prepare:
To experience these changes, you will need to toggle the new Yammer experience. 

Availability:
Due early September to early October.
