Organized for maximum efficiency: Slack to roll out a new user interface

On December 19, 2023, Slack - the equivalent of ASU's digital campus - will be undergoing a design change. This fresh look is the culmination of Slack's efforts to enhance its interface and offer simpler solutions for collaborating, communicating and transforming how Enterprise Technology works.

Key Changes:

Home:

• The sidebar is now Home, showing all of your channels, direct message, and apps in a single view - just as it always has.

Dedicated views:

• Focus your attention on updates when you want, or choose to maintain momentum on the task at hand.
• Views help you navigate through your updates and conversations faster.

Activity tab:

• Centralizes your mentions, threads, reactions, app notifications and more so you can quickly identify the collaborative work that requires your attention.

‘More’ menu:

• Quickly browse and access all your most important tools, data and collaborators easily to launch dedicated views for:
  • Canvases
  • Workflow and app automations
  • External connections in Slack Connect
  • Channels
  • People and user groups
  • Files and clips

‘Create’ menu:

• Access Slack’s most powerful tools from a new “create menu.”

Please note: Slack is not offering a “legacy view” at this time, meaning this design update cannot be reverted.
