💬 FAQs
Q. Can I make chat channels private?
A. Yes! When creating or editing a channel, you can adjust the visibility and permissions so only certain roles or members can access it.
Q. Can I rename or delete a chat channel?
A. You sure can. Right-click the channel name, then select Edit to rename it, or Delete if you no longer need it.
Q. Can I change a channel type after creating it?
A. No, once a channel is created as a specific type (e.g., Chat, Calendar, Forum), its type can’t be changed. You’d need to create a new channel and either delete or archive the old one if necessary.
