Chat with Your Team

Chat keeps your team's conversations next to their work, instead of scattered across email and personal messaging apps. Messages arrive instantly, and files you share can come straight from your workspace.

Channels and direct messages

• Public channels are open to everyone in your workspace. Use them for teams and topics, such as Sales or Announcements.
• Private channels are only for the people you add, such as a confidential project.
• Direct messages are one to one conversations.

Create a channel

1. Add a channel

   Open Messages from its icon in the top bar and add a new channel.

2. Name it

   Give it a short name and a description so people know what belongs there.

3. Choose public or private

   Choose who can see it. For a private channel, add the members. You can change the details and members later.

Send messages

• Format your message with bold, italics, lists, quotes, links and code.
• Share files by dragging them in, or attach something from your media library, a form or a document in Wizard Application.
• React to a message instead of replying when a quick acknowledgement will do.
• Edit or delete your own messages if you need to.

Keep conversations tidy with threads

Reply in a thread to keep a side conversation under the message it is about, so the main channel stays easy to follow. The message shows how many replies it has, and anyone can open the thread to catch up.
