Writing topics and descriptions in Slack, a collaboration tool
This guide explains how to write topics and descriptions for each channel in Slack, a collaboration tool.
The reason why it is necessary to write topics and descriptions is that, although some channels can be identified by their names alone, it is sometimes necessary to provide a more detailed explanation.
Especially
1. For people who are newly joining the community
2. For new employees who don't know what each channel is used for, this is for explanation purposes.
It is written. It goes without saying, but those who have used the same Slack channel for a long time (= those who have worked for a long time) know this even without explanation.
