• and
• one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a request to share a file in a feed of a group-based communication platform, wherein the feed comprises a channel, a thread, or a direct message associated with a group of the group-based communication platform;
• causing a representation of the file to be rendered in a user interface presented via one or more client devices of one or more users associated with the group, wherein the representation of the file is associated with an engageable link for accessing the file, and wherein a thread summary indicator, representing a thread of one or more messages associated with the file, is presented proximate the representation of the file;
• and
• based at least in part on receiving an indication of an interaction with the thread summary indicator, causing the one or more messages associated with the thread to be rendered in the user interface proximate the representation of the file.
