Microsoft Teams Tutorial 2019 - How To Get A New Line When Hitting Enter (Format Box)

18/6/2019

In this short post we cover how to avoid posting when you wanted a new line... and how to recover if you do it by accident.

One of the main things that people forget after training is hitting enter sends your message and how to recover if you do do that by accident.

​Watch the video below or scroll down for the text and picture version.
If you start typing something and hit enter because you want a new line it's going to get posted straightaway.

When people have done this by accident, we've noticed that our users have been replying to that "fumbled" message. They might not have done their @mention properly, they might not have linked a file they wanted to and replying might not surface all these things later down the line if that thread becomes well used.

So a better way is if you do post something before you were ready, remember that you can edit or delete any of your own posts. So you could go and edit it and then add what you wanted (including a new line), or we could delete it completely and start again.

Hit the format button for more space to type and turn hitting enter into a new line rather than sending your message
​If you do need to write a longer message with some spaces in between the lines then it's this little format box that you want to hit before you start typing. This pops up a bigger text box and you can put a subject line or format the message a little more like an email.

If the text box is big like this then when you start typing and hit enter you'll get a new line to make your longer message easier to read. When you are ready to send it then click this little paper plane icon to get it out into the world.
