One caveat, however, is that it won't be a significant improvement if you and your team members don't know how to make the most of Slack's features and integrations.

So make sure to read the official getting started guide and this post if you want to keep things short and sweet.

How to Use Slack: The Basics
When someone who is new to Slack or someone who is thinking about making the transition, I usually get asked the same questions over and over again. That's why I've put together a short and sweet list of these questions and their answers here.

If you're already familiar with Slack, consider jumping to the top tips and tricks section on how to use Slack effectively.

What is a Workspace?
Your Slack workspace is your private instance of the Slack communication software. Typically, the workspace name and URL will be your company name.

If you enter Slack via a link, you'll see the workspace name in the top left corner.

What Is a Channel?
Channels are the primary way Slack separates information benin phone number data into different sections for different teams and topics. You can think of them as email threads.

You can see all public channels in the top left corner of your Slack interface, just below the search bar and the “Threads” link.

Info
When creating a new workspace, it will always include the #random and #general channels by default.

If you're an employee (or consultant) figuring out how to use an already established workspace , there are likely channels for different departments, topics, and projects.

Channels are used to separate communication in a way that makes sense for everyone in the company. So, creating and joining the right channels is the first key to getting the most out of Slack.

On paid plans, you can also use groups to manage larger teams across multiple channels.
