Spaces

Your group work takes place in spaces, either in groups or in direct messages with another person. They display prominently so you can get to them whenever you need to. Your most recently active spaces are at the top. If anyone has added you to a new team or space, you’ll see it here too. When someone’s posted a new message in the space, you’ll see the bolded space name.
