## Visual Status Indicators Added to Outbound Chat Communications

_Release Date: 10/27/21_

We've updated the UI within our communication panel on Cases to show additional visual indicators when a user sends an outbound chat message from a Case. This will provide users with valuable indicators to understand if the message they sent is still sending, has sent, or failed to send.

When a message is being sent, the message will show a status in the top right to indicate if the chat has sent. The status will move from **Sending** to **Sent** and then afterwards show the **timestamp** of when the message was sent.

If a message does fail to send, the message will show as **Failed** and will offer the user the opportunity to **Retry** sending the message or to **Cancel** sending that message.

Lastly, if for some reason the user loses internet connection, we've added visual feedback in the communication panel so the user understands their network connection is down.
