Organize your conversations

As work changes over time, you can organize conversations in ways that work for you. Star channels and direct messages (DMs), or if you use Slack on a paid plan, create custom sections within your sidebar. Watch the video below to learn more.

Try it: Star an important conversation like the DM with your manager, or create a team section and add your team’s channel and DMs.

 

Keep up with work that’s relevant to you

You can configure your notifications and leave conversations to help you keep up with work that's most relevant to you.

 

Remind yourself about important messages

If you're worried about forgetting important messages, you can put your mind at ease by setting reminders for yourself in Slack. Set a reminder so that you’ll be notified about a message later.

Try it: To set a reminder, hover over a message and click the  three dots icon, then select Remind me about this.
