With Canvas, Slack promises teams an easier way to share information
Slack users will soon be able access simple shared documents from within the messaging app, now that its new Canvas feature has been made generally available.
Slack unveiled Canvas at parent company Salesforce’s Dreamforce event in September, promising a new way for users to create and share information from within a Slack workspace. Canvas documents can contain a variety of information, such as text, files, apps and rich media that’s all searchable like other content within Slack. These documents can be paired with a specific channel or conversation to provide easy access to important information on a certain topic.
