How to add or remove a Slack workspace – Android Police

Slack remains among the best business apps for teams in your organization. It consolidates information into workspaces where everyone can see what they need to know when they need it. You can create or join separate channels for management, feedback, projects, and team building activities. If you are part of another organization, you can add it to the app and switch whenever you want.

Since most real-time businesses need to reach the end of their cycle, Slack lets you delete a workspace from your Android phones, tablets, or Chromebook computers if you created it. If you haven’t, you can leave an existing one. In this article, we show you different ways to easily manage Slack workspaces.

How to add workspaces to Slack

You can sign in to an existing Slack workspace with its URL and your Google, Apple, or work email address. The mobile app has an additional option to connect with a QR code scan. When you sign in with your email address, Slack sends you a magic link to access your workspace without a password.

Plus, the platform automatically finds each workspace associated with your account, so you don’t have to add them manually. If you log in with the URL, you will need a password. Use the following steps to add Slack workspaces.

How to delete Slack workspaces

You can remove a Slack workspace from view when you log out or delete the workspace. Signing out means your account is intact, but you’re not getting app notifications. Also, the workspace disappears from the left side panel. You can always return to the workspace when you’re ready. If you’ve lost your device or think someone tampered with your account, log out of all devices where you’ve accessed Slack.

However, deleting a Slack workspace is permanent. This action clears all workspace data, such as files and messages, as well as removing members (including you). Only primary owners can delete workspaces in Slack, and you can do this whether or not you’re on a premium plan. However, you should know that there is no recovery window once it’s done. If you haven’t done so already, export your Slack data to avoid losing messages and files. Use the following steps to permanently erase Slack workspaces.

Slack keeps everything together

Slack is a flexible tool for managing teams. You don’t need different accounts to create multiple workspaces. If you have two or more email addresses, you can link them to the platform, and all of your workspaces will appear in a hub. The downside is that it can get chaotic when you’re one of several. Luckily, Slack has some great features, like the ability to filter unread channel messages, pin important conversations where everyone can see, and integrate dozens of third-party apps to boost its performance.

If managing your workspaces becomes overwhelming, there are plenty of ways to better manage notifications from your smartphone, especially when you’re not on time.
