How to Leave a Slack Workspace: A Step-by-Step Guide
As much as we enjoy being part of a Slack workspace, there are times we may need to gracefully exit from one. It could be due to personal reasons, or maybe it’s time to move onto a new workspace. Whatever the reason may be, leaving a Slack workspace is straightforward and can be done within minutes if you follow these simple steps.
Step 1: Locate the Workspace Directory
On your Slack dashboard, click on your workspace name located at the top left corner of your screen. A drop-down menu will appear, and then click on “Directory” beside your workspace name. This will take you to the workspace’s directory page.
Step 2: Find the Workspace You Want to Leave
Once you are in the directory page, locate the workspace you want to leave. Type the name of the workspace in the search bar at the top of the page, and Slack will narrow down the search results for you. Click on the workspace name to open the workspace page.
Step 3: Navigate to Workspace Settings
On the workspace page, navigate to the bottom right corner of the screen and click on the “Settings and administration” icon. It looks like a cogwheel. This will take you to the settings page for the workspace.
Step 4: Click on “Manage Members”
On the settings page, locate the “Manage members” option in the sidebar. Clicking on it will take you to the workspace members’ page.
Step 5: Leave the Workspace
On the workspace members’ page, locate your name on the list of members, and click on the arrow icon located beside your name. A drop-down menu will appear. Click “Remove from Workspace” in the menu, and then confirm that you want to leave the workspace by clicking “Yes, remove me” in the confirmation dialogue box.
Step 6: Confirm That You Have Left the Workspace
After successfully leaving the workspace, you will receive a message confirming that you are no longer a member of that workspace. You will also receive an email notification confirming your departure from the Slack workspace.
In conclusion, leaving a Slack workspace is easy-peasy. It only takes a few steps, and you’ll be out in no time. However, before leaving, ensure you have any crucial files or chats backed up, so you don’t lose vital information. With this step-by-step guide, you can leave any Slack workspace with ease.
