Depending on how your system admin has configured Mattermost, you may be able to [edit](/end-user-guide/collaborate/send-messages#edit-messages), [restore](/end-user-guide/collaborate/send-messages#restore-a-previous-version-of-an-edited-message), and [delete](/end-user-guide/collaborate/send-messages#delete-messages) messages after you've sent them.
<Tip>
It's easy to return to a message in progress with global message drafts. Find all of your draft messages in the **Drafts** view available at the top of the channel sidebar. See the [draft messages](/end-user-guide/collaborate/send-messages#draft-messages) documentation for details.
</Tip>
## Organize discussions into threads
When you reply to messages, those replies are [organized into a discussion thread](/end-user-guide/collaborate/organize-conversations). Threaded discussions are easy to follow and allow multiple parallel conversations to occur at the same time without confusion.
Using Mattermost in a web browser or the desktop app, replies appear indented slightly in the center pane to indicate that they are child messages of a parent message. Selecting the reply link opens a sidebar in the right-hand sidebar in a web browser and the desktop app. To expand the right-hand sidebar to its full width, select the **Expand** icon with two arrows at the top of the sidebar.

To shrink the right-hand sidebar to its original width, select the same **Collapse** icon.
