A Space is a named group of channels and people, built around a team, project, or topic. Every Space belongs to one Account. Inside a Space, conversation happens in channels; a channel can carry threads, and each thread is one side-discussion hanging off a single message.
Open Spaces from the app launcher. The narrow column on the far left holds DMs, one icon for each Space you belong to, and Explore Spaces. Selecting a Space shows its channels in the column beside it. If you can create Spaces, the rail also offers New Space.
The four levels
| Level | What it holds | Where you see it |
|---|---|---|
| Account | Every Space that belongs to your institution or team | The Account you are working in |
| Space | Channels, members, and Space roles | One round icon in the left-hand navigation |
| Channel | Messages, pins, threads, and files | The navigation column, under Channels |
| Thread | Replies to one message | Under a channel in the navigation column, and in the Threads tab |
A channel can also have sub-channels. A sub-channel is a channel whose members come from its parent channel, and it appears indented under the parent.
What is not part of a Space
Direct messages are not inside a Space. They live on their own destination, labelled DMs, and are listed under Direct messages. A one-to-one direct message resumes rather than creating a duplicate; a group message is always new. Notes to self is a private conversation with nobody else in it.
What each channel gives you
Every channel header carries four tabs: Messages, Pins, Threads, and Files. A channel opens on Messages; use the other tabs to find saved messages, discussions, or shared files.
