HOW TO CREATE SECTIONS FOR YOUR CHANNELS AND DMs

In addition to the Starred section, you can create and name your own sections to help organise channels into useful groups.

Note: This can only be done on desktop, but sections will appear on both desktop and mobile.

To create a new section:

1. find the ‘Channels’ section heading (or DM section heading) in the left sidebar and click on the right-hand arrow

2. in the menu, hover over ‘Create’ and choose ‘Create section’

3. in the pop-up that appears:
   A) enter a name for your section (you can also add emoji)
   B) then click the ‘Create’ button

4. Note: it can be useful to use all capitals for section names to help them stand out

HOW TO ADD CHANNELS AND DMs TO SECTIONS

New sections you have created will appear in the same list as the ‘Starred’ option.

To add a channel or DM to a section (or move it to a different section):

The simplest way is to drag and drop channels into the section headings.

Alternatively:

1. go into the channel and click on the channel name to open channel settings

2. click on the button top left showing a star

3. click to choose from the list of sections you’ve created

4. return to the homescreen and you’ll see the channel listed under that section

HOW TO MANAGE AND EDIT SECTIONS

To edit or delete a section: 

1. find the section heading (or DM section heading) in the left sidebar and click on the right-hand arrow

2. in the menu that appears, hover over ‘Manage’ to open the options

rename [section name]: edit the section name

delete [section name]: delete the section (the channels will not be deleted, just returned to the general channel list)

edit all sections: this will add a checkbox against all channels in the sidebar to allow you to select many at once and add them to a new section
