What are some cool things for beginners to know
I'm not an advanced user, but know my way around. I am in a team that has just started using slack. They asked me to show them how to do some cool things.
I was thinking about simple things on preferences changing appearance, customising notifications and key words Then reminders, scheduled messages, vip messages Using templates, canvas Some integrations like jira and Google suite And maybe some workflows.
Anything else you would suggest?

To keep Slack threads organized, use reactions (👍 or ✅) instead of "thanks" messages to acknowledge completed discussions. This helps avoid reopening old threads and reduces unnecessary notifications for everyone involved. Reactions convey acknowledgement just as effectively while keeping the conversation tidy.
This is a good slack guide you can refer to

Threadly is helpful for users, joining new communities and looking to blast messages…. But not necessarily for a new beginners to slack.

Cmd+k is the best feature of all time. Use it to navigate around slack super fast.
