Key Features and Insights on Using Canvas in Slack

·

I also realized a few things about Canvas.

  • If you are on free Slack plan, you essentially get one free Canvas.

  • Deleting a Canvas - Beware If you delete it, you can't add it back without getting PRO

  • Lock Canvas - There is a feature to lock the canvas, which I think is important because a member can make edits

  • Show by default - I think this means it will show first when people get to that channel for first time, which is nice to be able to share info before people post in new channel for first time

  • You can also right click the canvas and disable people getting notified in channel when you make updates. This is also a default setting in admin settings

    Highly recommend these two to everyone. Important to note that any member can unlock the canvas, but it does prevent accidental mistakes!

    One free canvas per channel, I believe—unless that changed recently

    Deleting a Canvas - Beware If you delete it, you can’t add it back without getting PRO

    This is definitely a bug in my opinion. I’ll file it in Slack’s community.
