Add Private Topics to 1on1s
All topics added to a 1on1 agenda are visible to both people by default. You can make a note to self on a 1on1 agenda that is not visible to the person with whom you are having the meeting.
In order to make a 1on1 Topic private, you must first add it, which means you should do so when they're not in the 1on1 Meeting.
- Look at the avatars at the top of the page. If the other person is on the agenda at the same time, you'll see a green circle and dot on their name.
- If they're in the meeting now, wait until they've checked out to add the topic.
- Add a topic to the agenda.
- Hover over the row, click the three dots icon (kebab menu)
. - Select Make private so this topic will now only be visible to you.
