Is there a way to bulk unlist PMs the same way I can bulk unlist topics within a category? I noticed the unlist function is missing from the Bulk Actions for the PMs.

I want to unlist PMs from the past so new members that are invited to the private group cannot see PMs from the past.

Thank you!

All pms are unlisted.

I’m pretty sure that if they are in the group and it’s addressed to the group then they can see them.

When I go into an individual PM, I have the option to unlist the PM/topic? If I don’t want new group member to see old PMs to the group, is the only way to delete the PMs?

Looks like I’m wrong
