Hi,
I noticed that Slack supports this feature:
Does Mattermost? If not, I’d like to recommend it. We have a group message that is taking on a life of its own. But how to move it to a channel and not lose the message history?
Thanks,
Pierce

Hi @ptyler! Thank you for reaching out.
Here is a doc with more information on this: https://docs.mattermost.com/help/getting-started/organizing-conversations.html#converting-public-channels-to-private.
Also, here is the CLI command tool that can be used: https://docs.mattermost.com/administration/command-line-tools.html#mattermost-command-move.
From what I can tell this specific functionality does not exist in MM currently.
This is not a good implementation. Anyone should be able to convert DMs to private channels. I have to add someone to a chat and they will access to none of the history.
Please add the ability for anyone to convert DMs to private chats.
I’ll go look for a place to make feature requests.
I’ve added my votes to the request to retain message history when adding a new person to a DM. I would be happy with that feature OR converting DMs to private chats for everyone.
I came across this thread when looking for a way to convert group conversations to private channels. What started as a side conversation between four people on my team kind of met the need for having a new channel, but unfortunately, there is no way to do that. I would hate to just make the new channel and lose all of the chat history, so I would prefer to convert it.
Please add this feature.
Hi, everyone.
To keep the ball rolling on this topic, please add your votes to the Uservoice post shared by @aangelinsf here:
Please share your thoughts on the importance of having this feature there. Thanks.
Did anything happen in this matter? Slack has it for more than 2 years and it seems like a standard
Hello! This is already May 8, 2020 and the conversation stopped on Sep '19. Has this feature been implemented? I am in the same situation, trying to add a new member to a conversation…
Hi MM Team,
Any update on a way to convert group message to private/public channel?
Hello, everyone.
As we can see from the topic shared earlier, this feature is still being considered by the dev / engineering team as I believe that they are focusing on other critical bug fixes and feature implementations.
Please continue to keep an eye on it for now. Thanks.
Yes, I would also like to see this feature.
So 14 months later from the last message on this still no feature?
