Work smarter with knowledge sharing

When your team can easily access and contribute to shared knowledge, everyone at your company can work smarter, faster and more productively.

Search conversations and get answers fast

With Slack, conversation history is at your fingertips. So instead of asking someone for information every time you need it, tap into your entire organization’s shared knowledge base instead—saving everyone valuable time along the way.
