Slack guides, tips, and tricks

Some Definitions

• Slack Team – Think of this like an organisation, you are invited into organisations and have a unique profile in them all.
• Channel – Think of this like a room or an area, normally Channels have a specific purpose, so maybe around a particular project or feature.
• DM – A direct message. This is a message shared between you and one other person, no one else will be able to read it.
