Slack, depending on how you use it, could be either a great communication tool for a workforce spread across multiple locations, or a tremendous distraction. Starting today, though, the company is rolling out a new tool in a push to become more of the former.
The new look might take a little getting used to for power users of the office tool. The left side of the tool, for instance, now collapses all of your workspaces into a single tile, eliminating the need to toggle back and forth. And direct messages will now be brought together, showing the most recent message from each chat — and giving you the option to only see unread messages.
