Need to clean up your channels or help organize posts? Heartbeat makes it easy to move any thread to a different space — as long as both channels are Threads channels.
⚠️ You can only move posts between Threads channels. Posts in Threads channels cannot be moved into Chat channels.
🔁 To move a single thread:
-
Click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of the thread
-
Select “Move”
-
Choose the new channel you'd like to move the thread to
-
Hit Move to confirm
🤔 Why move threads?
There are a few great reasons you might want to move a thread:
-
Someone posted in the wrong channel
A quick move helps you gently redirect members and reinforce channel guidelines without deleting anything. -
You're consolidating channels
When you're merging two related channels, moving old threads makes it easy to preserve important conversations. -
You’re reorganizing content
As your community evolves, threads may belong in different places than where they were originally posted.
How to Move All Threads in a Channel
If you're cleaning up a whole channel — or merging channels together — Heartbeat also lets you bulk move all threads.
📦 To move all threads:
-
Hover over the channel name in the left sidebar
-
Click the three-dot menu that appears
-
Select “Move All Threads”
-
Pick the destination channel and confirm
This is a quick way to tidy up without losing history—especially helpful when restructuring or archiving channels.
