How can conversations be preserved in a DM before adding new members?

Archive the conversation

Convert the DM to a private channel

Conversations in a direct message (DM) can be preserved before adding new members by converting the DM to a private channel. When a DM is converted to a private channel, all existing messages in that DM remain intact and accessible to the new members who join. This allows for continuity in the discussion and ensures that new participants can catch up on prior conversations without losing any context or information. By contrast, simply archiving the conversation does not maintain accessibility for new members, and sharing or copying messages out of the DM would not preserve the ongoing thread or context as effectively as creating a channel. Thus, converting to a private channel provides a seamless transition while maintaining access to the complete conversation history.
