从编辑您发送的消息到将您的工作电子邮件转发到Slack，您可以使用此工具做很多事情。
1. 更新您的 Slack 个人资料(1. Update Your Slack Profile)
当您加入Slack时，首先要做的是更新您的Slack个人资料。正是从这些信息中，您工作场所的其他用户将了解您在组织中的工作。因此，您应该在您的个人资料中尽可能多地添加有关您自己的信息。
您可以通过选择Slack右上角的个人资料图标并选择Edit profile来访问您的(Edit profile)Slack个人资料。在这里，输入您的全名、您的显示名称、您的工作角色、您的电话号码和您的时区。
如果需要，您也可以将您的个人资料图片添加到您的个人资料中。填写个人资料后，选择保存更改。(Save Changes)
2.添加个人资料状态(2. Add a Profile Status)
通过个人资料状态(profile status)，您可以让工作区中的其他成员知道您在做什么。您可以在 Slack 状态中显示任何消息，包括表情符号。此选项的理想用途是显示您当前的工作状态。
例如，如果您是一名编辑并且正在编辑某些内容，您可以添加一个状态为“正在编辑(Editing)”，以便其他人知道您在做什么。
要更新您在Slack中的状态，请选择右上角的个人资料图标，然后选择更新您的状态(Update your status)。然后，在给定框中输入您当前的状态，然后选择底部的保存。(Save)
3.给自己留言(3. Message Yourself)
与其他消息应用程序(messaging apps)不同，Slack允许您发送和接收来自自己的消息。对于大多数用户来说，这个功能就像一本日记，他们记下他们的想法和任务列表(jot down their thoughts and tasks list)。
您可能希望使用此功能来保存任务列表、做个人笔记和保存附件。
要使用此功能，请在Slack的左侧边栏中选择您的姓名。然后，键入消息或附加文件，它将发送给您自己。
4. 向所有用户发送消息(4. Send a Message to All Users)
Slack为您提供了多种选择，可以在某些渠道中向每个人发送消息。您可以使用三个句柄来通知您频道中的人。
第一个是@everyone，它将通知所有用户，但仅限于#general 频道。这是一个默认频道，每个人都在加入Slack工作区时被添加。
第二个句柄是@channel。当您键入此信息和您的消息时，Slack会向您频道中的每个人发送有关您的消息的通知。您应该使用它来发布适用于该特定频道中每个人的公告。
第三个句柄是@here。有了这个，您可以只通知 Slack 频道中的活动成员。所有非活动成员都不会收到有关您的消息的通知。此句柄的理想用途是当您想引起在线成员的注意时（也许是请人们在某个地方吃午饭？）。
5.编辑已发送消息(5. Edit Sent Messages)

要获取消息的链接，请将鼠标悬停在消息上，选择消息旁边的三点菜单，然后选择复制链接(Copy link)。
然后，转到您要转发消息的频道，在消息框中单击鼠标右键，然后选择“粘贴(Paste)” 。
7. 创建提醒(7. Create Reminders)
如果您需要处理Slack消息，但您不能立即可用，您可以要求Slack为您的消息创建提醒(create a reminder)。这样，Slack会在指定时间过后提醒您有关您的消息。
要创建此类提醒，请将鼠标悬停在您想要收到提醒的消息上，选择消息旁边的三点菜单，选择提醒我有关此内容(Remind me about this)，然后选择您希望收到提醒的时间。
如果您想为提醒指定自定义时间，请选择自定义。(Custom)

15 Quick Slack Tips and Tricks for Beginners
Arе you new to Slack and want to learn how to get the most out of this collaboration tool? You’re at the right place. There are many Slack tips and tricks that you can learn to make working with this tool easier and more productive.
From editing your sent messages to forwarding your work emails to Slack, there’s a lot you can do with this tool.
1. Update Your Slack Profile
When you join Slack, the first thing to do is to update your Slack profile. It is from this information that other users in your workplace will know what you do in the organization. Therefore, you should add as much information about yourself in your profile as you can.
You can access your Slack profile by selecting your profile icon at the top-right corner in Slack and choosing Edit profile. Here, enter your full name, your display name, your work role, your phone number, and your time zone.
If you want, you can add your profile picture as well to your profile. Select Save Changes when you’ve filled your profile.
2. Add a Profile Status
With profile status, you can let other members in your workspace know what you’re up to at. You can have any message in your Slack status, including emojis. An ideal use of this option is to display your current work status.
For example, if you’re an editor and you’re editing something, you can add a status that says Editing so others know what you’re working on.
To update your status in Slack, select your profile icon at the top-right corner and choose Update your status. Then, enter your current status in the given box and select Save at the bottom.
3. Message Yourself
Unlike other messaging apps, Slack allows you to send and receive messages from yourself. For most users, this feature works as a diary where they jot down their thoughts and tasks list.
You might want to use this feature to keep a list of your tasks, make personal notes, and save attachments.
To use this feature, select your name in the left sidebar in Slack. Then, type a message or attach a file and it’ll be sent to yourself.
4. Send a Message to All Users
Slack gives you multiple options to send a message to everyone in certain channels. There are three handles you can use to notify people in your channels.
The first is @everyone, which will notify all users, but only in the #general channel. This is a default channel where everyone is added when they join a Slack workspace.
The second handle is @channel. When you type this followed by your message, Slack sends a notification to everyone in your channel about your message. You should use this to make announcements that apply to everyone in that particular channel.
The third handle is @here. With this, you can notify only the active members in your Slack channels. All inactive members won’t get a notification for your message. An ideal use of this handle is when you want to get the attention of the online members (maybe to ask people to have lunch somewhere?).
5. Edit Sent Messages
If you ever end up sending a message with a typo or incomplete information, you can edit that message even though it’s already been sent. Slack allows you to modify sent messages and you can do this with a few clicks.
To edit a message, find that message, select the three-dots menu next to the message, and choose Edit message.
Make whatever changes you want to your message and select Save Changes.
6. Quote a Message
With Slack, you don’t have to re-type a message in a channel if the message has already been posted somewhere in that workplace. You can simply copy the link of that message and paste it in any channel you want. Slack will embed the message in your channel.
To get your message’s link, hover over your message, select the three-dots menu next to the message, and choose Copy link.
Then, go to the channel you want to repost the message in, right-click in the message box, and select Paste.
7. Create Reminders
If you need to work on a Slack message but you aren’t immediately available, you can ask Slack to create a reminder for your message. This way, Slack alerts you about your message after the specified time has elapsed.
To create such a reminder, hover over the message you want to be reminded about, select the three-dots menu next to the message, select Remind me about this, and then choose when you’d like to get a reminder.
Select Custom if you’d like to specify a custom time for the reminder.
8. Mark Favorite Channels
Finding a certain channel gets difficult if you have several channels in your Slack workspace. Luckily, Slack allows you to create a list of your favorite channels, and you can then access these channels from the left sidebar in Slack.
Basically, you star your favorite channels and Slack puts them in a starred channels list. To do this, right-click your favorite channel in Slack and choose Star channel from the menu.
Your selected channel gets added to the Starred section in the left sidebar of Slack. You can now conveniently access this channel without scrolling through the full channels list.
9. Use Emojis for Your Decisions
Slack has full support for standard emojis and you can use these to express your feelings and emotions in your messages. Apart from that, you can use these emojis to make certain decisions as well.
For example, if someone has requested something in a Slack message, you can add a certain emoji to that message to indicate your decision. If someone has asked for, say, approval on a certain task, you can add a checkmark emoji to that message to give your approval, and so on.
There are several emojis that you can choose from to make decisions without words. Just make sure your team knows what emoji indicates what decision.
10. Change Slack’s Look
You don’t have to live with Slack’s default look if you don’t like it. Slack is customizable, which means you can change the tool’s look and feel to your liking. There are various themes you can apply to your Slack workspace.
To view these themes in Slack, select your profile icon at the top-right corner and choose Preferences. Select Themes from the left and you’ll see the available themes on the right.
Select a theme and Slack will apply it to your entire workspace.
11. Access Emails in Slack
Slack is meant to replace emails, but, for good or bad, emails aren’t going away anytime soon. To bridge the gap between emails and Slack channels, the tool allows you to bring your emails into your Slack account.
Here’s how it works. Slack gives you a forwarding email address. Any emails that you send to this email address become available in your Slack account. You can generate a Slack forwarding email and set up your actual email account (Gmail, Outlook, etc) to forward all incoming emails to this Slack email.
To generate this email address in Slack, select your profile icon at the top-right corner and choose Preferences. Select Messages & media in the left sidebar, scroll down the right pane, and choose Get a Forwarding Address.
Configure your email account to forward emails to your newly generated email address. You should then find all your incoming emails in the Slackbot section of the left sidebar in Slack.
12. Enable/Disable Slack Notifications
You probably don’t need a notification for each message that gets posted in your Slack workspace. To combat notifications, Slack allows you to configure your alert settings however you want. You can choose what notifications you’d like to get and when for your Slack account.
You can even create notification schedules so that Slack doesn’t send you alerts every now and then.
To change Slack notifications, select your profile icon at the top-right corner and choose Preferences. Select Notifications from the left sidebar. On the right pane, configure various options for your Slack notifications.
13. Activate/Deactivate Do Not Disturb in Slack
There are times when you don’t want to get disturbed by any Slack notifications at all. In these cases, Slack’s do not disturb mode can help you.
This mode pauses your notifications for as long as you want. You can manually turn the mode on and off whenever you want.
To access this option in Slack, select your profile icon at the top-right corner and choose Pause notifications. Then, select how long you’d like to keep the mode enabled for.
To turn the do not disturb mode off and resume your notifications, open the same Pause notifications menu and choose Turn off.
14. Extend Slack Functions with Apps
Slack probably isn’t the only online tool that you use. You might use Google Drive, Trello, and various other apps for your tasks, and Slack is aware of that.
To help you bring your data from those apps into your workspace, Slack allows you to integrate your favorite apps into your account. Once you add an app, you can use many of that app’s features from within your Slack account.
Slack supports several popular apps including Google Drive, Trello, Twitter, Zoom, and so on. To view the apps list, select More > Apps from the left sidebar in Slack.
Then, select Add beneath the app you want to integrate with your workspace.
15. View Your Slack Analytics
Slack keeps a log of all the activities happening in your workspace and you can access this information from the tool’s analytics tool. Slack analytics gives you the stats of your workspace, like what number of people are active and what messages are being exchanged.
You can access this tool by selecting your workspace name at the top-left corner of Slack and choosing Tools > Analytics.
And those were some of the useful Slack tips that we think you should learn to make the most of this tool!
