Highlight important files using Tabs and Pinning

Often most teams will contain huge amounts of information and files.  Use the file tabs and pinning options to make important files more accessible to your teams.

Create file Tabs for Common Files

All of the tabs highlighted above are actually links to files.  By adding files to the top of a channel you can make it quick and easy for your team to find the most important files that you work on the most frequently.

Step 1 - Click on the files tab in the channel you wish to edit.

Step 2 - Find the file you want to turn into a Tab

Step 3 - Click on the three dots next to the file and choose Make this a tab

Optional - Can click on the newly created tab at the top of your channel and then click on it again to view the settings for that tab.

Renaming is really useful, especially if the file name is really long!

Renaming a tab will not change the file name itself

Pinning Important Files or folders

This method allows you to pin important files or folders to the top of any folder in your team.  Each folder can have many different files or folders pinned for quick access.

Step 1 - Find the file or folder you wish to pin.

Step 2 - Click on the three dots next to the file or folder and choose pin to top
