Where to close down internal Slack channels?

To close down (or archive) internal Slack channels, follow these steps:

For desktop:

  • Click on the channel name to open the channel.
  • Click the three dots (More actions) in the top right corner of the channel details.
  • Select "Archive channel". Confirm the action when prompted.

For mobile:

  • Tap on the channel you wish to archive.
  • Tap the channel name at the top of the screen.
  • Tap on the gear icon or "More actions" (three dots).
  • Archive Channel: Select "Archive channel" and confirm.

Only workspace admins or the channel creator can archive a channel.

Archiving a channel makes it inactive, but the message history will still be accessible for future reference.
