Slack Mini Series

This is our Slack mini series, where we quickly explain simple and more advanced Slack features. Excellent for beginners or if you just need a quick refresher.

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.

If there is a feature you would like us to cover please drop us an email or tweet.
