Sidebar is a tool that lets you easily gather teammates across Slack into a discrete, temporary and time-boxed channel to collaborate and get work done. Once the time-box is over, Sidebar automates archiving the channel so that your Slack channel list stays tidy.
To use Sidebar, type the /sidebar command along with the name of your channel and the teammates you want to invite.
A full example will look like this:
/sidebar product launch @glenn @gilfoyle @jian @laurie
Sidebar will then ask you to choose a duration for the time-box as well as a purpose for the channel. Your new Sidebar channel will be created and will be prefixed with -sb- so that your entire team knows that room is for temporary, focused collaboration.
Once the time-box is over, the channel organizer will get an automated message that lets them easily archive the Sidebar channel.
