Canvases: Take notes and align on tasks

 What you’ll learn in two minutes or less: How to use a canvas to keep track of important information between you and a colleague.

Organise priorities and collaborate on action items from a direct message conversation.



Go for it!

  1. Open a direct message with your colleague.
  2. Click the   canvas icon in the conversation header.
  3. In the canvas, add meeting notes, to-do lists, links to resources – or any information that makes it easier to work together.

    Here's an example of what this could look like:
    open canvas between two colleagues containing a checklist, list of relevant channels and important links

Tip: Store information that’s relevant to your entire team by using the canvas in your team’s channel.

Nice one!
