Channels
A channel is a named room for an ongoing conversation — a project, a topic, a team. Every channel is either:- Public — anyone in the workspace can find it and join.
- Private — only invited members can see it.
Only invited members can see this channel.Channel visibility is fixed at creation. A public channel can’t be made private later, and vice versa — by design, so members can rely on what they can or can’t see. Inside a channel, every member has a role:
- Admin — manages the channel itself (rename, archive, change membership, assign roles).
- Poster — can read, post, mention, and react. The default for new members.
- Reader — read-only.
