Change your workspace or org name and URL

Your workspace name is displayed in menus and headings throughout Slack. It will usually be (or include) the name of your company. Your workspace URL is the web address your members will use to access Slack. You can rename or set a new web address for your workspace or Enterprise Grid organisation at any time. Be sure to let all members know about the change.

Bear in mind: When changing a workspace URL, you'll also need to update the URL in other services such as single sign-on and some apps.
