Slack, a prominent player in the business tech industry for a decade, continues to evolve with innovative features for its team chat app. These new tools, combined with recent interface updates, offer enhanced ways to collaborate, automate tasks, and access information efficiently. However, navigating and utilizing these features may not always be straightforward. Here’s a comprehensive guide to the latest and greatest additions.
In this article:
- Utilize canvases for seamless sharing and brainstorming sessions
- Streamline operations with automated workflows
- Harness the power of Slack AI for quick onboarding

Canvases serve as collaborative workspaces where teams can create, share, and organize content effortlessly. These spaces allow for the inclusion of text, documents, images, videos, and more, providing a centralized hub for storing essential information, files, agendas, and action items. Additionally, canvases facilitate brainstorming sessions, project tracking, event planning, and other collaborative activities.
Every channel and direct message includes a built-in canvas accessible by clicking the Canvas icon (depicted as a page with a +) at the top right corner of the channel or DM. This action opens a Canvas panel on the right-hand side.
