# End a Discussion

### Discussion creators can end a discussion from the :speech\_balloon:`Discussions` section of the Proper App Home by clicking the :hourglass:`End` button.

{% hint style="info" %}
Workspace and app admins can end any discussion but must [**follow**](https://happybara.gitbook.io/proper/reference/discussions/follow) or [**reply**](https://happybara.gitbook.io/proper/reference/discussions/reply) before it will be visible in the App Home.
{% endhint %}

#### This action will prevent users from posting anonymous replies, but it will not delete any messages. 

Discussion owners, voters, and followers will be notified when a discussion is closed.

{% hint style="info" %}
While anonymous replies are no longer possible in a discussion that has been ended, users will still be able to post identified thread replies.
