# Replying to a message
You don't have to be mentioned in a message to reply! You can add a thread to any message in your chat channel.
To do this, hover your mouse over the message you wish to reply to: a "reply" button will appear in the form of a message bubble icon.
Click on it to open a discussion thread associated with the message: posting a message in this thread will constitute a reply to the message, and the member concerned will receive a notification.
In a discussion thread, the usual text editor appears: **you can add images or insert external content to a reply.**
