When inviting someone to a group DM, what happens to the existing message history?

  1. A new conversation starts with the full history

  2. A new conversation starts without previous message history

  3. The history is copied for the new member

  4. The history is archived for later review

The correct answer is: A new conversation starts without previous message history

When inviting someone to a group DM in Slack, a new conversation starts without previous message history. This means that the newly added member will not have access to any messages exchanged prior to their joining the conversation. This design choice is made to prioritize privacy and confidentiality among the existing participants, ensuring that any sensitive discussions that occurred before the new member joined remain inaccessible to them. The mechanism allows for a fresh start for the group DM, where the new member can participate in ongoing discussions but does not have the context or information from prior interactions. This is particularly relevant in collaborative environments where certain conversations might involve sensitive or private information that should not be disclosed to new participants.
