Introducing Slack Lists, a new task management tool built into Slack

July 16, 2024

Slack has announced a new task management tool built into the service called “lists.” Slack Lists can be used for to-dos, project tracking, goal planning, and more. By default, lists you create are private and can only be accessed by you unless you share the list to allow others to see or collaborate on it. Additionally, you can import a CSV, and Slack will help you categorize the data into a list. (You can also export a list as a CSV file.)

Refer to the Slack Help Center to learn more about using Lists and find helpful guides/video walkthroughs. You can also refer to the ITS Knowledge Base for information about Lists in the U-M Slack environment.

According to Slack, this feature should begin showing up in U-M Slack on July 23, 2024, and could take a day or more to become fully visible.
