18. What is Slack?
A team is a group of people that use Slack to communicate.  A Slack team — or workspace — is also the digital space you and your teammates share to communicate and get work done. 
 Slack workspace is comprised of channels. They can be organized around anything and you can create as many as you need.
👀  Public channels:  They're open to your entire team. All messages within a public channel are archived in Slack and are searchable by all your team members, except for Guests of your Slack team. You can identify a public channel by the  next to its name.

19. 🙈  Private channels:  They allow a group of teammates to discuss and share privately within Slack. You have to be invited to a private channel in order to see and search for its contents. All private channels have a  lock icon next to the channel name.
When you need to quickly chat or check in with teammates, you can send them a direct message (DM). Direct messages are best for ad-hoc, quick discussions. These conversations are only visible to and searchable by you and the other team members you DM. You can DM just one person, or start a group message with up to 8 other people.
Communication in Slack happens through messages, whether they’re in channels or DMs. Most communication should happen in public channels to create a transparent and searchable archive of your team’s work. No matter where they’re shared, you can format your messages to help present your ideas. Did we mention emoji? Use them to enhance your own or to react to your teammates’ messages.
