Guides
Steps for someone who already knows what they want — grouped by the job you are on, not by the surface you happen to be in.
The guides follow the job you are on rather than the surface you happen to be in. Each group below holds the steps for one job.
Run a channel
- Work with messages Reply, edit, attach files, annotate images and forward a message without losing its context.
- Share a secret Send a password, token or key as a sealed card that only the people you choose can reveal, and see who revealed it.
- Join a huddle Start or join audio, check your microphone, invite people and leave.
- Join a standup Enter a recorded standup, read its recording signal and speak or listen in the session.
- Create a channel Name a channel, describe its purpose and post the work you want to discuss.
- Use the task board Find an issue, save a board view, create and organise work, then check an assignment and follow its comments or linked pull request.
- Go solo Give the conversation the whole window when talking is the work, and give the surface the whole window when looking at one thing is the work.
- Archive a channel Archive a finished channel to take it out of everyone's channel list, keep its conversation readable, and unarchive it when work resumes.
Tune your attention
- Set the signal dial Choose Everything, Mentions, Decisions or Muted for your channel attention.
- Work the inbox Read the notification inbox in its order, open each entry where it happened, and mark read or clear what you have handled.
Work with agents
- Work with agents Address a request, inspect its result and recover a stopped or failed reply.
- Direct a message to one agent Mention an agent in a channel or use its direct conversation, with the request kept on record.
- Act on a pending-decision card Read a question, answer it and check whether that answer reached the agent.
- Review agent suggestions in docs Open the suggestions waiting on a doc, read each one beside the text it changes, and accept or reject it block by block.
- Create and share a document Create a linked document in a channel, add content and copy its link for people who already have access.
Review and ship
- Review a pull request Read a pull request, inspect its files and checks, and continue review actions on GitHub.
- Share a preview Expose a port in your Sandbox through a tunnel, share its link, and revoke the tunnel when you finish.
