Edit Channel

Channel name gives your team members an insight into the topics covered within those channels. However, things can change over time and you can always rename any active channel.

Renaming a channel #

1. Open the channel you wish to rename
2. Click on the Information icon at the top right corner
3. Click on … More
4. Click on Rename this channel
5. Type in the new name, and then click on Rename channel

Only the member who created the channel can also rename it.

#general channel can’t be renamed.

Switching a channel from public to private #

Once the conversations and details on the channel become more suited to be private, it is possible to convert the channel from public to private. Private channels can be used for those discussions that shouldn’t be visible to all the members of your Pumble workspace.

Only owners and admins can convert channels from private to public. Therefore, if you can’t change channel settings to private, please contact the owner for assistance.

To change a channel from public to private, please do the following:

1. Open the channel you’d like to convert into private
2. Click on the Information icon at the top right corner
3. Choose . . . More, and opt for Change to a private channel
4. Click on Change to private to confirm the update (i.e. all channel members will be notified inside the channel that it has been converted to private)
