Using the Drawer Panel

The primary use of the Drawer panel is to navigate through your various Pronto chat groups. 

To make organization easier, groups are divided into Categories, which serve as a kind of folder to hold similar groups. 

By default, all users will have a "recent" category for any communication that has taken place most recently, and any direct, one-on-one conversations, will be below their last category heading.
