The latest and greatest from Slack
We’re always innovating to help businesses collaborate better and be at their most productive. Here’s what’s new in Slack for summer 2024.
Be more productive, wherever you’re working
Pick the right GIF for every occasion
A GIF is worth a thousand words. Save time scrolling by adding a GIF directly from where you’re typing.
Design your own canvas
Create and share custom canvas templates, whether streamlining processes across your org or making your own to get work done faster.
Add canvas to a workflow
The magic of no-code comes to canvas. Create, update and share canvases as a workflow step to make curating content even simpler.
Bring rich data to canvas
Connect canvas to systems of record and get the most recent information by automating info-gathering.
Build your own navigation
Customise your tab navigation to see (or hide) what’s most important to you.
Catch up quickly
Got messages? On Slack mobile, simply swipe through your unread messages to get up to speed and back to work.
Celebrate your team
Share work anniversaries or recent new hire statuses to channel, so everyone can join the celebration.
Pair your calendar with Slack OOO
Forgot to set your status before annual leave? No worries! Your status now automatically sets when you use the OOO responder on your calendar.
Secure, powerful tools for every admin
Bring the power of automation to Slack with enterprise tools
Our new developer portal, part of the Slack developer programme, helps you to create, test, deploy and manage your Slack apps.
Ensure that Slack messages meet your compliance needs
Implement in-line data loss prevention (DLP) policies natively within Slack, without requiring a third-party solution or custom development.
Understand how your teams are using canvas
An analytics dashboard offers insight into how many canvases are created, viewed, edited and commented on over time.
Extend message activity data to private channels
See how people have interacted in private channels with 50 or more people, so you know who a message reached and how people engaged with it.
Configure the app activity dashboard with metrics of your choosing
Better understand how apps are used across your org with new dashboard and activity metrics, customised to your business.
Granular channel manager permissions
Channel managers can restrict who posts in channels and who archives channels, giving them more control over who takes what actions.
More control for custom templates
Designate who has the ability to create canvas templates and publish across your org.
