Hubs
Finding and switching between hubs
Where your hubs live, how to open one, and how to move a chat into a hub.
Step 1
The Hubs panel
Press Hubs in the left rail. The overview and each hub's own page use the full width; once you open a hub chat, the Hubs panel appears on the left. It lists every hub you are in, with how many chats it has and a dark badge when there is unread Team activity. Hub chats only appear here, never in the Chats list.

Open a hub
Press a hub's name to open its workspace, with Chats, Team and Files tabs and a Manage button. Pressing the Hubs heading itself takes you back to the overview of all hubs.

Step 3
Expand it in place
The chevron at the end of a hub row expands it without leaving the page. Underneath are Team chat, New chat for hub admins, the latest five chats, and the hub's projects. A people icon marks a chat visible to the whole hub; +N more chats opens the hub for the rest.

Team chat and chats
Team chat opens the hub's shared threads, with the unread count beside it. Press any chat to open it; the open one is marked with the hub's colour. The options button on a hub chat shows on chats you started, or on any chat if you can edit the hub. Rename, Pin to top and Delete chat are for your own chats; Remove from hub is for hub editors.

Step 5
The hub menu
Hover a hub row for the three dots, or right-click it. The menu offers New chat, New project, Manage hub and Archive, and Delete hub for the person who created it. What you see depends on your role in the hub.

Step 6
Move a chat into a hub
From the Chats list, open a chat's options and choose Move to Hub, then pick the hub, or New hub to create one and move the chat in. You need to be an admin of the hub. Nothing is recreated: the chat simply moves, and from then on it lives under that hub.

Step 7
Or drag it
In the Hubs panel you can drag a chat from one hub onto another hub's row; the row turns gray while you hold the chat over it. Deleted hubs wait in Trash for 30 days, at the bottom of this panel and of the Hubs overview.
