## Tips
- **Keep replies in the thread.** Replying inside the Unit Message keeps the entire conversation in one place — easier to find and reference later than scattered emails.
- **Be specific.** If you're responding about a date, document, or unit detail, include those specifics in your comment so the Manager or Board can act quickly.
- **Check email notifications.** When the Manager or Board replies back, you'll receive a new email notification with a button that takes you straight to the updated message.
