The basics

Desktop Notifications

Get notified when someone sends you a direct message or mentions you in a conversation.

Direct Messages (DMs)

Direct Messages are private conversations between two individuals or a specific group of people in the chat workspace. They allow users to communicate directly without involving others who might be part of a larger channel. DMs are typically used for confidential discussions, quick questions, or conversations that don’t need to involve the entire team.

Threads

Threads are a way to keep conversations organized within a channel or a direct message. When someone replies to a message within a channel or DM, it starts a thread. Threads help keep the main conversation clean and focused. Users can follow or unfollow threads based on their interest or relevance to them, which helps in managing notifications and reducing clutter.

Channels

Channels are dedicated spaces within a team chat client where team members can communicate, collaborate, and share information based on specific topics, projects, departments, or interests. They serve as virtual rooms where discussions are organized. Channel members can be set by admins and the channel organizer.

The channel owner and all admins will be able to edit channel after creation. The edit icon at the top of the channel will only show to owners and admins. To edit the channel, simply select the edit channel button and change your settings.

DMs

To start a new message, select “New direct message”, select the user(s) you wish to send a message to. You can add multiple users to a direct message, however, we recommend perhaps thinking about making a channel as you have more editing ability. Once a DM is started it remains, it cannot be edited.

Within your channels or DMs, you are able to do various options to the messages.

Pin

Pinning a message involves placing it at the top of a conversation or channel for easy access. Pinned messages are typically important or relevant information that users may need to refer to frequently.

Flag

Flagging a message involves marking it for attention or follow-up. This feature is useful when you want to draw attention to a particular message or mark it as important for later review.

Mute

Muting a conversation prevents notifications from that specific source. Users can choose to mute a conversation temporarily to avoid being alerted for every message, especially if it is a busy or less relevant channel.

Edit Message (your own message or admins only)

Editing a message allows the user (or administrators) to make changes to the content of a previously sent message. This is useful for correcting typos, updating information, or clarifying a statement.

Delete (your own message or admins only)

Deleting a message removes it from the conversation or channel. Users can delete their own messages for various reasons, such as correcting errors or retracting information. Administrators have the authority to delete messages for moderation purposes.
