A team or channel can be viewed in three different ways: by showing, hiding, or pinning them.

Show a team or channel

The new team you join will be automatically added to your list of teams as soon as you join it. You may not be able to see a team that you are a member of if you follow these steps:

  1. From your Teams list on the left hand side, click on the drop-down menu that appears at the bottom of the list, then select Hidden Teams from the list.
  2. Find the team that you are looking for by using the search function.
  3. Show more options by selecting the Show more options option.

Hide a team or channel

Using the “Hide this team/channel” button on the team or channel page, you will be able to hide the team/channel from appearing in your list of teams. In this way, you will be able to leave out all the teams and channels you aren’t actively involved with and focus on the teams and channels with which you are actively involved.

Click the More options Hide button in the toolbar next to the name of a team or channel.

The hidden channels menu can also be found beneath the channel listing for a team if you would like to show the channels for that team. Show more options by selecting the Show more options checkbox.

Pin or unpin a channel

It is very convenient to have pinned channels on top of the list so you do not have to search for them.

Click on the name of a channel to get more options, and then select Pin to pin the channel. In this way, no matter what you do, the channel will always maintain its top position in your list regardless of what you do to it. It is quite simple to unpin the item at a later time, you simply need to select it again once you have decided that it needs to be unpinned and then unpin it.

[su_note note_color=”#f07afb”] Tip: You can drag a channel to the order in which you would like it to appear when you have pinned it. Whenever you pin a channel, you will be able to find all the pinned channels in one convenient place if you do this for several channels.[/su_note]
