Issue
How do direct messages (DMs) work in U-M Slack Enterprise Grid?
Resolution
Direct messages (DMs) are smaller conversations in Slack that occur outside of channels. They can be one-to-one or include up to nine people. DMs work well for one-off conversations that don’t require an entire channel.
In an Enterprise Grid environment like U-M Slack, direct messages are not workspace-specific, which means all of your DMs with individuals in U-M Slack will be accessible from any U-M Slack workspace. This is not a functionality that can be changed or turned off.
