Where Slack fits
Use it when a project or organization needs conversations grouped by team, topic or ongoing work.
Check before you choose
Confirm the workspace invitation and plan limits first; access to a company workspace is controlled by its administrators.
Find the right edition
Start with the destination for your device or the publisher's website. Use the current requirements and terms there to confirm the edition you need.
Compare the workflow
Separate personal notes, office documents and shared project tracking when comparing options. Local files offer a different ownership model from a hosted workspace, and synchronization is not a substitute for a backup.
