What is Slack?
Slack offers one-on-one messaging, private groups, persistent chat rooms, direct messaging as well as group chats organized by topic.
All public content inside Slack is searchable from one search box.
Before you start…
Slack is invite-only, but… treat it as public
Don’t post anything you wouldn’t post publicly!
Why?
When someone new joins, they have access to the history. Don’t assume “because they’re not here” right now they can’t hear you….
(And besides, screenshots exist.)

Slack Overview
Channels and Private Groups
Think of these like “rooms” to discuss different topics
Only Admins can create Channels. We limit the number of Channels, to streamline conversation and make #Measure Slack less overwhelming to new users.
Members can create Private Groups for topics, or to have a private conversation with others.
Direct Messages
Private, instant messages between you and the person you’re messaging
