The Slack analytics dashboard allows you to gain insight into how your organisation uses Slack. Review the information below to see the analytics available and what they mean for your workspace or Enterprise Grid organisation.

Note: Data for messages and files, channels and members is only available on Slack’s paid subscriptions. If you're using the free version of Slack, upgrade your workspace to access more analytics features.
