Every message has a small row of actions. On the Mac and the web they appear at the bottom right when you hover; on the iPhone, long-press the message or use the buttons under a reply.

Selected words
Select words inside one reply and a small menu offers Ask about this or Quote in reply. Quote puts the words in your next message as a quote. Switch the menu off in Settings → Appearance → Display → Menu on selected words.
Side chat
The side chat answers a question about a passage with one seat, beside the discussion. Nothing in it joins the discussion unless you press Send to discussion on an answer, and nothing is kept when you close it. It answers with the leader unless Settings → Who's In The Room → Context → Side chat answers with says the cheapest seat.
Find
⌘F (Mac and web) or ⋯ → Find in discussion opens a find bar. Enter steps to the next match, ⇧Enter to the previous, Esc closes it.
Messages sent while the room works
You can keep typing during a run. Press Enter and the message waits for the next speaker, marked Waiting — joins when the current answer finishes. It carries two buttons: Take back removes it while nobody has read it, and Send now hands it over at once. The seat speaking keeps what it has said. On the iPhone, long-press Send for the same thing.
Compact
When the context meter in the composer gets high, Compact Earlier Turns in the + menu folds older turns into one note. Nothing is deleted from your transcript, but the seats read only the note from then on. It also happens by itself at the share set in Settings → Who's In The Room → Context (80% by default).
