Slack is a business communication platform designed for team collaboration with channels, direct messages, and extensive app integrations.
Slack export support available through our Professional tier. Contact us for Enterprise workspace export solutions with custom processing and bulk conversion.
Slack offers export features but availability depends on your workspace plan. Free plans have limited export; paid plans offer full workspace exports.
Go to Workspace Settings → Import/Export Data. Export availability depends on your plan and admin permissions.
Workspace Admins: Go to Settings & Administration → Workspace settings → Import/Export Data → Export
