The first-week guide is drafted. Shall we add the team channels too?

AlexThe first-week plan
Product tour with sample contentSwitch between Messages and Thread. The details of a file shared with a teammate stay with its message.
A place for the quick question, too.
Use a direct message for a question one person can answer. Create a small group when a few people need to work it out, and bring work that concerns the wider team into its channel.
One-to-one, self, and small-group messages
Choose a teammate to start a conversation. Add a few people to a group or send yourself a note you want to return to later.
Files, threads, and conversation search
Answer questions about a shared file in that message’s thread. Use conversation search to find the message where the file was discussed.
Voice and video calling
When a discussion needs a call, start one from the conversation header. Participants can move into voice or video from the same direct message.
Email-verified external contact invite
Invite a customer or partner to a conversation through email verification. This invitation does not make them a member of the workspace’s channels.
Find the conversation and what was shared.
When you look for the latest guide, the file name is only part of the story. Filter search results by messages, Canvas, or tasks. The source shows which conversation or note to return to.

A small working group
Bring the people preparing a presentation into a group message. Keep preparation there and share the final update in the team channel.
Keep the audience clear.
Check the conversation information to see its participants. Share decisions that other teams need in the relevant channel yourself, and consider the audience before passing on content from a private discussion.
