People
People includes recent contributors, members, or a combination of both. To see a complete list, select See all at the bottom.
Note:Â A private or shared channel shows only the list of people in that channel, not everyone on the team.
Description
If a channel owner provided a channel description, it’ll appear here. For example, Discuss design projects.
Pinned posts
Like chat, channel info also has a place to pin posts, which are shown below the member list. Note that only the three most recent pinned posts are visible in channel info. To see all pinned posts, select Pinned.
To pin a post or reply to a post, hover over the post that you want to pin, select More optionsÂ
To remove a pinned post, go to the original post, select More optionsÂ
Note:Â If you can't pin a post, check with a team owner or channel moderator to see if you have permissions.
If you're a team owner or channel moderator and you want to allow channel members to pin posts:
-
Select More channel optionsÂ
-
Select Manage channelÂ
-
In the dropdown menu under Moderation, choose On.
-
Select the Allow members to pin channel messages check box.
Updates
This shows recent team and channel updates, like the addition of new members. If an update includes a dropdown arrow, select it to see more entries from the contributor. To see all recent updates from the past 12 months, select See all.
