class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">What\u2019s the right number of channels?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">The right number of channels depends mainly on the size and structure of your organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">More channels don\u2019t necessarily make communication more complicated as long as each one has a clear purpose and is well maintained.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you have a small team or a large organization with hundreds of employees, use focused, topic-specific channels to <strong>keep discussions organized and prevent important information from getting lost<\/strong> in cluttered conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s a quick guide for deciding whether to create a new channel in your workspace:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table

id=\"when-to-archive-or-delete-old-channels\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">When to archive or delete old channels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">If your workspace is getting cluttered with too many channels, it might be time to archive or delete some of them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">First, check when the channel was last used, and ask your team if they still need it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">When deciding whether a channel should be archived or deleted, keep this in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Archive channels<\/strong> you might need again later, such as finished projects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Delete channels<\/strong> you will never need again, such as one-off chats.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Archiving a channel in Pumble removes it from your sidebar, but you can still access its contents and find its messages and files through search. You can also unarchive a channel whenever you need to start using it again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Deleting a channel, however, permanently removes it and its contents. That\u2019s why archiving is oftentimes the safer choice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Whichever action you choose, here\u2019s how to do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Go to the channel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Click on the information button in the top right corner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Click More.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Select to archive or delete the channel.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"548\" height=\"612\" src=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Archiving-or-deleting-a-Pumble-channel.webp\" alt=\"Archiving or deleting a Pumble channel\" class=\"wp-image-16514\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.8970588235294118;width:366px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Archiving-or-deleting-a-Pumble-channel.webp 548w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Archiving-or-deleting-a-Pumble-channel-269x300.webp 269w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Archiving-or-deleting-a-Pumble-channel-11x12.webp 11w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 548px) 100vw, 548px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Archiving or deleting a Pumble channel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group pro-tip\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83c\udf93 PUMBLE PRO TIP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">For more information about archiving and deleting Pumble channels, visit our help page:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/help\/using-pumble\/channels\/delete-archive-channel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Delete or Archive a Channel<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-different-industries-use-organized-channels-in-pumble\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">How different industries use organized channels in Pumble<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some ways various businesses benefit from organized channels in Pumble:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/solutions\/software-development\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Software development<\/a>.
