Not sure how to answer a thread? Talk it through with Grove first. Grove reads the thread and the plan, and recommends an answer. Nothing you say to Grove is posted in the thread until you're ready.
Start a discussion
Do one of these:
From a thread: open the thread, and click Discuss with Grove. To start in a fresh chat, click the arrow next to it, then Discuss in a new session.
From the Threads page: select one or more threads, then click Discuss.
From the Queue: click a project's row in a thread card. Grove opens a discussion of that project's open threads.
If Grove is busy replying in your current chat, Discuss with Grove is inactive. Start a new session, or wait.
What Grove does
Grove reads each thread as it is now, and the plan documents it's about.
Grove leads with a recommendation for each thread, and explains why.
You talk it through. Ask questions, push back, or just get clear on the problem. Understanding the problem is a fine result, even if you don't answer yet.
Grove drafts a reply once you lean toward an answer.
Post the answer
Grove never replies to a thread, or closes it, until you say so.
If the answer is a reply, agree the wording with Grove, then ask it to post the reply. Everyone on the project sees the reply.
If the answer changes the plan, Grove edits the plan document first, then posts a reply that says what changed.
To close the thread, ask Grove to close it, or click Close thread yourself.
When you discuss several threads at once, Grove gives each thread its own reply. Grove skips threads that are already closed.
