No. Each conversation is between you and the vendor. Your teammates have their own.

### Can I send a file?

### How do I message a vendor who hasn't applied?

On **Vendor Roster**, open **All vendors**, click the vendor, then **Message**. Or click **New Message** in **Messages** and search for their business.
