Finding your way around

The workspace dashboard holds tabs like Apps and Files, Agents, and Integrations, and an agent can take you to any screen by name.

Bolter is organized around workspaces. Pick a workspace and its dashboard gives you a tab for each surface. If you are unsure where something lives, ask an agent to take you there; agents can link you straight to a named screen.

The workspace dashboard tabs

• About: the workspace at a glance.
• Apps and Files: one merged tab in every workspace, personal and team alike. It opens on Recent, a newest-first feed of the workspace's files with its web apps mixed in, and a Folders view sits behind the header toggle. Selecting a file previews it, selecting an app opens it, and you can share a file from here. Appears once the workspace has at least one file you can see or one app.
• Agents: the workspace's agents; create and manage them here. On a desktop screen in a team workspace, this tab merges with Members into one Members and Agents tab.
• Members: who is in the workspace and who its admins are. Not shown in a personal workspace, since you are the only member, and not shown on a desktop team workspace either, where it is part of the Members and Agents tab.
• Chats: the chats shared with the whole workspace, a directory rather than a place you read them. It lists the chats open to everyone in the workspace, or listed to it, and you get names and who is in them, never the messages. Appears once at least one chat is open to everyone in the workspace, or listed to it. See Chats, chat admins, and adding people.
• Integrations: opens on a catalogue of tools to browse and connect, with a Connected view holding the workspace's connected accounts, your own links, MCP servers, and its stored secrets; see Connectors overview.
• Responsibilities: the standing responsibilities agents have taken on. Appears once the workspace has one. A scheduled job always belongs to a responsibility, so scheduling work brings the tab with it.
• Wiki: shared workspace knowledge written by agents (see Memory and the Wiki). Appears once the workspace has at least one page.
• Billing and Usage: balance, payment method, and spend. Workspace admins only.
• Admin: requests waiting on a decision, Workspace limits, Message search, and the audit log, all in one tab. Workspace admins only. See Workspaces, accounts, and limits.
• Workspace settings: name and other workspace level configuration. Team workspaces only; a personal workspace has nothing here to set.

Which tabs you see depends on your role in the workspace, and several tabs only appear once your role or the workspace's activity earns them.

On a computer the tabs are a strip in that order, left to right; on a phone, and in a window too narrow to hold the strip, the same list becomes a dropdown beside the workspace name. A workspace opens on the first tab it shows you. A team workspace has an About tab, so it opens there. Your personal workspace has no About tab, so it opens on Apps and Files, or on Agents when it has no file or app yet.

What a team workspace's About tab holds

The About tab says what the workspace is, not what needs you. Nothing on it is a chat, a message, or a list of your work; those live on your Home page and in your chat list.

It opens with four counts, each of which is a door: Agents, Members, Tools, and Apps. Clicking one opens the tab holding the detail behind it.

Under the counts, "Who works here" shows the workspace's people and its agents as one set of faces, up to eight of them, then "and N more" and a See all link into Members and Agents. Clicking a person opens Members; clicking an agent opens its profile.

Then "What it can reach": one chip per connected tool, with Manage opening Integrations. A workspace with nothing connected says so and offers Connect a tool, which is where setting a new workspace up starts.

Below that sit the workspace's featured app if one is pinned, then anything waiting on your approval, then Recent updates, a feed of the files, apps and integrations that changed lately. Recent updates stays away when nothing has.

Requests waiting on you

Requests addressed to you, invitations, and the decisions waiting on your approval live in one inbox. It opens from the Notifications panel in the left sidebar, at the top, where the things waiting on you are gathered above the feed. See Requests waiting on you for what is in it, how to answer a row, and how to take one out of your queue without answering it.

Your Home page

Home is your own "start here" screen, and it reaches across every workspace you are in. It is a different screen from the workspace About tab described above, and nothing in this section appears on that tab. It is the screen Bolter opens on, and it lives at the address the app starts from, so a plain bolter.io link goes there.

It opens with a question box under a "What's next?" heading. On a computer you can get back to it from anywhere: your assistant's row in the left sidebar returns you to Home, cursor already in the box, every time rather than reopening whatever you last asked. Anything you type goes to your assistant and starts a brand new conversation for the answer, so you can ask something without first deciding where it belongs.

Underneath the box is a short list of what is actually waiting on you, read out of the messages you have not opened yet. Each line says what to do and who is waiting, for example "Confirm whether Herman agreed to resuming the launch work", with "Mention from Herman in Bolter, 3h ago" beneath it. At most three lines show at a time. Clicking a line fills the question box with a ready made ask, so you can edit it or add to it. Nothing is sent until you press Enter or click send. When you do send it, the ask is attached to the message the line came from, so your assistant opens that message and reads the conversation around it rather than working from the one sentence summary. Where the answer arrives, your question shows a quote of that original message, and clicking the quote takes you to it.

Each line is a summary of one real message, so you can hover a line to see that message exactly as it appears in the chat: who sent it, when, the full text, and anything they attached. Check the summary against it before you act. The preview names the chat it came from, or the person when it came from a one to one, and its "Go to source" opens that chat right on the original message.

You can also dismiss a line. Hover it and click the ✕ on the right. The line is replaced in place by "Dismissed" and an Undo, which stays there for about five seconds and then goes, leaving the rest of the list where it was. Use it for anything you have already handled somewhere else, or have decided not to answer. A dismissal quietens that chat rather than silencing it: nothing already said in it will be raised again, and if someone writes again afterwards, a new line can appear from what they said. Dismissing is only about this list, and it is yours alone: it does not mark anything read, does not touch the chat, and nobody else can tell you did it.

Two things that list can say, and they mean different things:

• Lines: those are the things waiting on you.
• Nothing at all: either you are caught up, or the list could not be built this time. It stays quiet in both cases rather than telling you that you are clear when it does not know.

The list is not a notification count. It only names things that need something from you, so a busy chat where nobody is waiting on you will not appear.

That is the whole page: the heading, the box, and that list. Nothing else stacks under it. The other things it used to carry each have their own place in the app, and that is where to look for them:

• Your past conversations with your assistant: the Omni row in the left sidebar, and its panel beside that row.
• People and agents waiting on you, and work in flight: the left sidebar, which carries both a waiting on you strip and a tasks row (finished work included).
• Blueprints to install: the Blueprints row in the left sidebar, and see Blueprints for what installing one does.

What's new in Bolter

When something ships that you can use, your assistant posts a "What's new in Bolter" card listing it. The card always goes to a conversation of that name, so past updates stay together in one place instead of being scattered through your older ones. It appears the first time you are sent a card.

It is one of your assistant's conversations, so it is not in the chat list. It has no row of its own anywhere: you open it the way you open any other conversation with your assistant, from the Omni row in the left sidebar and its panel, where it sits under its own name.

Your assistant's own place

Your assistant is not a chat, so asking it something does not leave a chat behind. It has a screen of its own at /omni, its own row in the left sidebar above Chats, and an Omni requests panel beside that row holding every conversation you have had with it. Pressing Cmd+Enter (Ctrl+Enter on Windows) asks it from wherever you are. See Your assistant's own place for that screen, for finding an earlier conversation, for archiving the ones you are done with, and for the shortcut.

Personal settings

Your own settings live on the Settings screen, separate from any workspace: notifications, account, billing and usage, sessions, chats, archived, appearance, and privacy. Sign out and Delete account sit at the foot of the list.

Requests is not one of them: the one inbox described above opens from the Notifications panel in the left sidebar, and has its own address at /requests. See Workspaces, accounts, and limits for workspace invitations and Chats, chat admins, and adding people for chat ones.

Notifications holds your default notification level for chats (all, mentions, or none), Working hours, the Product emails toggle, and, in a browser, the switch for desktop notifications.

Working hours limits notifications to the hours you choose: pick a start and end time and the days it applies on, and outside that window nothing buzzes. Nothing is lost, the notification still reaches your bell and still counts as unread. Times use your own timezone, so travelling moves the window with you. An end time earlier than the start runs through midnight for a night shift, and the window belongs to the day it starts on. It starts out set to 09:00 to 18:00, Monday to Friday, so switching it on without changing anything leaves your weekend quiet. Tick Saturday or Sunday to include them, and at least one day stays selected.

Product emails are occasional product updates and announcements sent to your email address. They are off unless you ticked the optional box when you created your account, and you can turn them on or off here at any time. Emails about your account itself, such as sign-in codes and invitations, arrive regardless of the toggle.

Archived is everything you have put away, sitting directly under Chats because it is about your chats without being one of their display settings. Archived projects come first when you have any, each with a count of what it is still holding; archived chats follow, each carrying its own name and picture and when you archived it. Press a row to open that project or chat, or press Restore to put it back. Once the chat list is long enough to be worth searching, a search box appears above it.

Appearance holds the color scheme (light, dark, or follow your device) and the font. The font applies across the whole app, and it is saved on the device you set it on rather than following you between machines. The default is Atkinson Hyperlegible Next, a typeface drawn to pull look-alike characters such as capital I, lowercase l, and the digit 1 away from each other. You can switch to Inter, the previous default, or to your device's own font. Code and ids stay in the monospace font whichever face you choose. The app canvas is always ruled with the same faint grid the sign-in screen stands on, in whichever color scheme you are using; there is no setting for it. On a computer that ruling carries through the top of a chat: the chat header has no panel of its own and sits straight on the canvas, divided from the messages by a single thin line, the way the header looks while you are setting your first agent up. A chat tint sits in Appearance too, on a computer; the message text size sits under Chats.

The Show tasks scope sits under Chats too. It controls the Tasks card of in-flight agent work in the left sidebar; on a phone the same list appears as the Tasks lane on Home. "My work" shows only runs by your own agents or runs you started yourself; "All chats I'm in" shows everything running in the chats you are in. Finished runs linger as receipts until you clear them: the tick at the top of the card clears them all in one click.

The left sidebar

On a computer the sidebar is a narrow strip of icons down the left edge. Workspaces holds the top on its own. Under it are the rows that say what is waiting on you, Chats, Library and Notifications, then a Tasks card of whatever your agents have running. The middle block is your assistant's row, which is also the way back to your Home page, then your projects. Blueprints, Search and More hold the bottom. Creating a new agent lives in the chat list's header, beside the new chat button. A New layout switch in Appearance puts the older strip back instead: Search at the top, and recent apps in place of projects. Resting your pointer on a row names it in a tooltip and does nothing else. Click one and a panel opens beside the rail holding what that row leads to; click the same row again, or the close button at the top right of the panel, and it goes away. Nothing on the sidebar moves just because your pointer crossed it. In a narrow window the panel behaves differently: see the end of this section. More is the overflow of everything the strip has no icon for: your profile, billing, archived chats, settings, the tutorial, the light and dark switch, signing out, and any dashboards your account can see.

The panel is the sidebar's second half, and which of them you get is whichever row you clicked: Chats holds your chat list, headed by the direct messages waiting on a reply from you, Workspaces the list of workspaces you can switch to, a project everything in that project, Library everything your agents have made, Tasks everything your agents have running, Notifications everything you have been told about. Only one is open at a time, so clicking another row moves the panel to it rather than opening a second one. That list can be cut down with a row of filters at its top, one per kind of notification: things that need you, mentions, agent activity, responsibilities, and everything else, each showing how many unread it holds, with an unread-only switch beside them. Clicking a filter shows only that kind, and clicking it again brings everything back. Holding Alt while clicking one (or pressing and holding it on a phone) hides just that kind and leaves the rest, shown as a struck-through filter until it is let back in. Marking everything read follows the filters you have set. With none applied it clears the whole list; with a filter on, it clears only the kinds you are looking at and leaves the rest unread, including the ones further back than the panel has loaded. When nothing in view is unread, the button is not there. Resting on a notification that came from a chat also reveals a small mute button, so a noisy chat can be quieted right from the row it sent. Nothing is open until you open it, and Bolter remembers which panel you left open across reloads, so a panel you set up beside your work is still there the next time. Search and Blueprints have no panel; they just take you there, and whatever panel you had open stays where it is beside them. Workspaces and your assistant's row do both at once: one click opens the panel and takes you somewhere, the workspace's dashboard and your Home page respectively. The assistant's panel is titled Omni requests, and holds the same list Home does. Right click a row there to archive that conversation, and use the archive button at the top of the panel to see the ones you have put away.

The Library: everything you have made

Library sits between Chats and Notifications on the sidebar, and it is one list of everything in your account that is not a chat, across every workspace you are in. Three kinds of thing go in it.

• Apps: the web apps your agents have built, in any of your workspaces.
• Files: things saved into a workspace's files, so they have a home you can go back to. Documents, presentations and diagrams all land here.
• Artifacts: things an agent made inside a chat and never filed anywhere, so the chat is where they live.

Every other way to reach these things is somewhere you have to be first: a workspace's Files and apps tab, the panel beside one chat, a project. The Library is the version of that question you can ask from anywhere, so it is filed beside your chat list rather than inside a workspace.

The Library icon is not on the sidebar until there is something in it. It appears on its own once your account holds its first app, file or artifact, which for most people is the first thing an agent makes for them, and it stays from then on.

Clicking a row opens the thing, and leaves the panel up beside it so the next one is a click away. An app or a workspace file opens in that workspace's Files and apps tab, which is where it lives. An artifact has no home but the chat that made it, so it opens on a surface of its own: the document, the diagram or the deck itself, with a button at the top right that takes you to its chat when you want the conversation around it. The list is one run in order of what changed most recently, whatever kind each row is, so the thing you were working on an hour ago is near the top. Each row says what it is under its name, along with the workspace or the chat it lives in.

Long lists load a page at a time. When there is more than the panel is showing, a Load more button sits at the end; once there is nothing left to load, the panel says how many things it is showing instead.

Three controls narrow the list, on the line under the panel's title.

• The box filters by name, and it searches everything you have, not just the rows already on screen, so something you made months ago is one search away. It matches the chat or workspace a thing came from as well as its name. Type at least two letters. Pressing Escape while there is text in the box clears the box rather than closing the panel.
• The type picker beside it starts on All, and can be set to apps, files or artifacts. Each choice shows how many rows it would leave, counted after the box and the workspace filter, so a choice never turns out to be empty.
• The funnel narrows the list to a single workspace, the same way the Chats panel's does. It is separate from the chat list's filter, so narrowing what you are looking through here does not change which chats you see.

The Library's filters last for as long as you are in the app and reset on your next visit, so a list that came back missing things is never a mystery.

Showing one workspace, or all of them

If you are in more than one workspace, the Chats panel has a workspace filter: a funnel button beside the panel's other controls. Pressing it opens a list of your workspaces next to the panel, and pressing it again puts the list away. Pick one and the two things drawn per workspace narrow to it: your chat list and your recent apps. Tasks, threads, notifications, priority and search are never narrowed, and neither is the list of workspaces itself. While the filter is on, the funnel is replaced by the chosen workspace's own icon, so the narrowed state is visible from the panel it shapes; press the icon to switch the filter to a different workspace, or choose "All workspaces" (or press the selected workspace again) to see everything at once. The list starts narrowed to the workspace you are in, so a workspace shows you its own work until you ask for more, and Bolter remembers which way you left it, so it is a mode rather than something to set each time.

The filter and the Workspaces panel's rows answer two different questions, and they do not move each other. The filter is what you can see. Pressing a workspace row is where you are working: it opens that workspace's home, and new chats and new agents land there. So you can sit in one workspace and still watch every chat you are in, or watch one workspace's chats while working in another. While you are showing all workspaces, the row you are working in is marked with a small house rather than a tick, because a tick would say it is the only thing you are looking at, and it is not. The workspaces in the panel carry their own unread counts, so you can see what is waiting in one you are not currently looking at.

Nothing is ever stranded behind the filter. Opening a chat from somewhere other than the list, a notification, a search result, a mention or a link, switches you back to showing all workspaces if that chat belongs to a different one, so you never end up reading a chat that has no row in your own list. A viewer with one workspace gets no filter, because there is nothing to narrow to.

On a phone the same choice is behind the title at the top of the Chats tab: it reads "Chats" while the list is narrowed to the workspace you are in and "All chats" while it spans everything, and pressing it offers the two. It is the same setting, so narrowing on your phone narrows on your computer too.

The Threads count is how many followed threads have replies you have not read, and there are two ways to clear it. Reading a thread clears that one, and the unread pill on a card in the threads reader doubles as a button if you want to clear it without reading. To clear the lot at once, use "Mark all read", which sits beside the filter in the reader's header and next to the title of the Threads panel. It appears only while something is unread. It covers every thread you follow rather than just the ones on screen, so the filter you have applied makes no difference to it, and muted threads are left alone because they never counted toward the number in the first place. Anything that arrives afterwards, including a reply an agent was still writing when you clicked, comes through as unread as usual.

Threads you follow also keep their chat visible. A new reply in one adds to that chat's unread count in the sidebar and moves the chat up the list, the same as a new message in the main conversation would, though the preview line under the chat's name stays the latest main-conversation message. Opening the chat clears the main-conversation part of the count as usual, but the thread part stays until you read those threads. While you are in the chat, a pill at the top says how many unread replies are waiting and in how many threads; pressing it opens the thread with the oldest unread reply, and it moves on to the next thread as you read until nothing is left. You can dismiss it with its close button for the rest of your visit. Muted threads sit all of this out, and replies in threads you do not follow never light anything up.

Clicking a chat in the Chats panel also shows you which threads the count came from. If the chat has unread replies in threads you follow, one row per thread unfolds under the chat's row, oldest unread first, and clicking one opens that thread beside the chat. While they are showing, the chat's own number counts only its main conversation, because the rows below carry the rest. Clicking the same chat row again folds them away and leaves you in the chat; clicking it once more brings back whatever is still unread. Reading a thread empties its number but keeps its row, so you can see what you have worked through, and going anywhere else puts the list away.

Some of those entries are small cards rather than single lines, and they are there whether a panel is open or not. Tasks, between Apps and Chats, is what your agents are working through right now: one line per run, and resting on one shows that run in full beside it, the task, how it is going, how long it has been running and which agent is on it. Clicking the card opens the Tasks panel with the whole list. Pinned is the chats you pinned, newest pin first, drawn under Chats because that is where you filed them; hovering one puts an unpin button where its icon was. Under those, separated by a thin line, are the chats that have been talked in most recently, so the conversation that just moved is on the rail without opening anything. They are ordered by their newest message, not by where you last clicked, and a chat you muted or archived stays off. The two share one height, so pins come first and recent chats fill whatever room is left. On a phone there is no sidebar to carry them, so the chat list itself answers it: a Recent group sits under Pinned, above the time groups, holding the last few chats you opened. Your computer's chat list has the same group. It starts off, and "Recent section" in your Chats settings turns it on for both chat lists. That setting is about the chat list, so the rail's own recent chats stay either way. Apps you pin work the same way and sit under Apps, so a pinned app is one click from anywhere instead of something you go looking for. Each card counts anything it cannot fit into a last line that opens the full list. Pinned rows, recent chats and the Apps entry come with the older strip; with New layout on, the chats you pinned are in the Chats panel. Chats where someone is waiting on you are not a card of their own: a direct message waiting on a reply from you sits at the top of the Chats panel, and mentions of you and approvals count on Notifications and open in its panel.

Some of these only appear when there is something behind them. Apps shows up once you have opened an app, Library once your account holds its first app, file or agent-made deliverable, and Notifications once you have one. Tasks is there only while something is running, so a new account sees a much shorter strip than this.

Unread counts show on the icons as a dot, so you can see there is something waiting without opening anything.

An open panel stays open. It keeps its place on screen with the rest of the page beside it rather than behind it, it survives going somewhere else in the app, and it is still there after a reload. The close button at its top right is how you put it away, and so is clicking the row that opened it, or pressing Escape while your pointer is on the sidebar.

A window too narrow to hold a panel beside your work is the exception, and there the panel works the older way: it can only float over the page, so there is nothing to hold in place. Rest your pointer on a row and its panel appears over your work; move the pointer back into the page and it goes again. There is no close button, because there is nothing to close. Clicking a row here opens its panel as well, and never puts it away, so a tap is the way in on a touchscreen. Escape closes it wherever it came up. Widen the window and the panel you last kept open comes back, exactly as you left it.

Drag a panel narrow enough and the controls along its title line run out of room. Rather than cut the title down, the ones at the end of the row move behind a "..." button beside them, the close button included. They do the same thing from there, and they come back onto the row as soon as you widen the panel again.

On the older strip the apps you use live on its Apps entry rather than above the chat list: the ones you pinned sit under it, and its panel holds the rest you have opened. See Apps and running code for how pinning works and where to find an app you have not opened yet.

Your conversations with your assistant are not in that list. They are not chats: they have their own place, they do not appear in the chat list, in search, or in a chat picker, and they are not counted in the chat unread badges. Each question you ask opens its own conversation, and every one of them stays reachable from your assistant's history. On a phone that place is the bolt in the middle of the bottom bar, which is also the screen the app opens on: it holds the box to ask from, what is waiting on you, and every question you have asked before. See Bolter on your phone for the rest of that bar. Opening a conversation from it shows the conversation, its title switches between your conversations when you have several, and the button in its top corner starts a fresh one. See "Your assistant's own place" below.

That includes "What's new in Bolter". It carries a name of its own rather than the subject of a question, but it is still your assistant talking to you, so it sits with the rest of its conversations and not in the chat list.

Tidying your chat list

Pin is the way to keep a chat in front of you. A pinned chat is collected into a Pinned group at the top of the chat list, under any new chats you have started and above Recent and your own sections, whichever layout your list is in and on a phone as well as a computer, and it leaves the section it came from so the same chat is never drawn in two places. If your list is grouped into sections, the Pinned group collapses and reopens like any other header, and it steps aside while you are searching or filtering; in the by-activity list no header collapses, Pinned included. On a computer a pinned chat also appears on the sidebar's Chats entry, as described above. Unpin it from the row menu, or from the unpin button that appears on its sidebar row. Pinning is yours alone. Nobody else's list changes.

Right click a chat row (press and hold it on a phone), or open the chat's settings panel. Both carry the three ways out, though Leave is offered a little differently in each.

Archive is the everyday one. The chat leaves your list and nothing changes for anybody else: no message is deleted, nobody is told, and the other people in it see no difference. It stays out of the way until you restore it from Archived in your personal settings, open Archived Chats from your account menu in the sidebar, or unarchive it from the chat's own row menu or settings panel. Nothing brings it back on its own: new messages in an archived chat do not resurface it, and it stays out of the Unread filter too, so archive is the right answer for a conversation you are done with for now rather than one you are only quiet in. Silence a noisy chat with Mute instead.

Leave takes you out of a chat for good, and losing the chat is the price: the confirm says "You will lose this chat and its history." and names any connected apps that end with your access. Your name comes off the member list and the others carry on without you. A one to one chat is no different, because a one to one is just a two person chat; if you only want their messages to stop, block or silence them from their profile instead.

There is no separate delete. A chat lives as long as it has members, and the last member leaving ends it for good, transcript and every copy included. See Who can see what.

Picking up where you left off

Opening a chat that has unread messages takes you to the first thing you have not read, not to the bottom. A "New" line marks where you left off and the chat opens just under it, so you can read forward in order. Everything below the line is what arrived while you were away.

You keep your place. Only the messages you actually scrolled past count as read, so leaving a busy chat after reading twenty of two hundred messages leaves the other hundred and eighty unread. The count on the chat in the sidebar catches up when you leave it rather than ticking down as you scroll. Come back later and the "New" line is still there, sitting where you stopped rather than at the top of the pile.

Because you land part of the way up, the chat is not following new messages while you read. A button sits at the bottom of the chat for it: "Back to latest" when nothing new has arrived, and "Jump to latest" with a count when something has. Press it to drop to the newest message and start following again. It is the way back while you are anchored up in history; once you are on the newest messages again, scrolling to the bottom keeps you following as usual. A chat with nothing unread opens at the bottom as usual, and so does one you reach from a notification or a link to a specific message, which takes you to that message instead.

Getting somewhere fast

The Search row in the left sidebar, or Cmd+K (Ctrl+K works just as well), jumps you to the chat, person, agent or workspace you name, and is also the way in to searching inside messages. See Finding things.

Someone else's profile

Clicking someone's name or avatar in a chat, in a chat's member list, in an @mention, or in a workspace's member list opens their profile. It shows your direct message with them, the groups you have in common, the workspaces you have in common, and their agents. Message opens or starts your one to one conversation with them.

The profile is a full page, so Back sits in the top left of its title row and returns you to whatever you were reading, at the place you left it. On a phone Back sits on its own line above the name instead. Opening a profile link directly, with nothing of yours behind it, shows no Back.

Picking a person out of search takes you to their profile page. On a phone you get a compact card first, with a Full profile button on it.

The Agents list is scoped to you, not a roster of everything they have. It holds the agents of theirs you already share a chat with, so an empty list means none of their agents are in a chat with you, not that they have none.

Next to Message is a menu with two more actions, and they work for anyone whose profile you can open, including people you have never shared a chat with:

• Report: send the person to the Bolter team for review. Pick a reason and add any detail that would help. Reports are looked at within 24 hours.
• Block: stop hearing from them. Blocking is per person, so it covers every account of theirs and their own agents too. Their invitations, requests, and adds are dropped before they reach you, their messages and reactions stop appearing for you in chats you share, and they cannot start a new direct message with you. They are not told, and everything they send still looks sent from their side. Blocking changes no membership in chats you already share; leave, or ask a chat admin to remove them, if you want that. A Blocked marker sits by their name while it is on, and the same menu unblocks them. Everyone you have blocked is also listed under Blocked people, in Privacy in your personal settings.

Silence sits beside Block wherever it appears: their requests and invitations stop demanding your attention, without blocking them.

All of these are on each person's row in a chat's member list too, so you can reach them from whichever surface you are already on.
