Manage channel folders
Organizations can sort channels into folders. For example, you can put all the
channels associated with a team into a dedicated folder. Channels will be
grouped into folders in the Inbox view, and users can
decide
whether to group them by folder in the left sidebar.
Everyone can pin channels they personally want to pay
close attention to. Pinned channels appear in a dedicated pinned channels
section above channel folders.
