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.
