Slack gets interface makeover with a more unified approach including dedicated DMs
Summary
Like most software, Slack developed over time adding a slew of new features like Huddles, Canvas and workflows. To that end, the company announced a major makeover today including a dedicated way to track direct message threads, while generally making it easier to see what information is relevant to you and your job. At this scale, it has become harder to pinpoint the information that is important to an individual employee or team, and Slack wanted to make it easier to surface that. Finally, you can also search with the magnifying glass icon and add a new message, canvas, huddle or channel from the + button. It’s worth pointing out that the company included this odd caveat in its announcement: Any unreleased services or features referenced here are not currently available and may not be delivered on time or at all.
