Overview

We are introducing an enhanced channel sidebar experience for all Mattermost users. Highlight features include:

Collapsible Custom Categories

• Create custom categories in your sidebar and group channels together for easier navigation. 

• Spend less time scrolling by collapsing categories to hide channels that are read. 

• Mute entire categories to control the noise and focus on what matters. 

Drag & Drop Channels and Categories

• Drag channels in your sidebar to move them between categories or reorder channels within a category. 

• Drag to reorder entire categories so you can prioritize the channels most important to you.

Filter Unread Channels

• Focus your view and see only unread channels in your sidebar with one click. When you’re all caught up, turn off the filter and your sidebar goes back to normal.

• Choose to group unread channels separately at the top of the sidebar 

Quick Access Menus

• Be more productive by accessing common actions on any channels directly in your sidebar from the … menus

Recent Direct Messages

• Choose to sort Direct Messages by recent activity or alphabetically.

• Configure the maximum number of Direct Messages shown in the sidebar.
