This can help you decide whether to migrate the channel.īy default, public channels content (messages and files) can be exported.

If you have a paid Slack service plan (anything other than Free), you can use Slack’s analytics (./admin/stats#channels) to see how active a channel is, when it was last used, and how many people are members. You’ll use the resulting list to figure out how to group your Slack channels into teams in Teams as well as who should be members of each team.

We recommend that you use Slack analytics to see how much activity happens in each channel to help you decide which channels to move. In Slack, users join a channel which is part of a Slack Workspace, whereas in Teams users join a team which is a collection of channels. If you don’t have access to the stats page, you’re not an admin or owner. Decide which workspaces you want to migrate (and which ones you want to leave behind). Review the Channels and Members tabs to look for usage patterns. If you’re a member of the Slack Workspaces you want to migrate, you can analyze the usage yourself by going to. For example, how many workspaces are being moved? Are they used by a specific department, many, or in use by an entire organization? Understanding how your Slack workspaces are being used helps you determine the scope of your migration.
