Description

Functional Notes

For each Custom category and the Favorites category, add these new options:

  • Browse Channels
  • Create New Channel
  • Open a Direct Message

Place these new menu items in a group below the ‘Sort’ option.

Once a user adds a channel from this context, that channel should go in to the TOP of the category they triggered this menu from

For the Channels category, omit the ‘Open a Direct Message’ option

For the Direct Messages category, leave the options as-is.
