What to check before moving off Slack
Slack replacements are not really about chat bubbles. They are about channel history, guest access, search, and whether the new tool survives daily team habits.
- Decide what channel history needs to come over and what can stay archived in Slack.
- Test guest access, shared channels, notifications, and mobile usage with one mixed team first.
- Map SSO, user provisioning, and retention settings before the wider rollout.
- Cut over on a clean date and freeze old channels to read-only so nobody keeps splitting conversations.
