# 2. View/Select a Conversation

Conversations are shown on desktop and mobile by changing the custom states on the `Group Conversation (Desktop)` element. This element's custom states can be viewed by clicking that element in the property editor, and clicking the **"i"** element inspector icon:

![](/files/-LXO2GwR05Ql4N77qZlf)

The most important custom state is the "SelectedConversation" custom state (type: Conversation, list: no) which displays the selected Conversation that the Current User wants to view. (Or, when the page is first loaded at a page width greater than 887 pixels, the "SelectedConversation" custom state (type: Conversation, list: no) is automatically set to the Current User's most recent Conversation). 

The Current User can change Conversations by clicking either the `Group Select Conversation (Desktop)` or `Group Select Conversation (Mobile)` elements:

**Desktop**

![](/files/-LXX1QPI4k6YlHkONm3Q)

**Mobile**

![](/files/-LXX1SV9rz9QkFKtiRSO)

When either of those elements are clicked, the "**View Conversation (Desktop)**" or "**View Conversation (Mobile)**" custom events are run, which mainly change the value of the `Group Conversation (Desktop)`element's custom states.

More information on how these custom states are changed and why they are needed can be found in the **B. View Conversation** workflow folder.
{% endhint %}
