Slack, the popular messaging app has been talking about a new feature called Canvas since 2022, but finally last week they rolled it out and this is a feature that brings almost a Google Doc or a Notion kind of a feature, where you can have a document inside Slack messaging app. I know many of you listening to me already use Slack for your nonprofit, Church, or Ministry work. And this new feature will help you build documents inside your chat without having to open another window or another browser. This is not probably going to replace your Google Drive, but I’m sure it’s going to increase your productivity by giving you the ability to add a lot of details within a particular channel. If you’re using Slack, you are already probably saving a lot of time because of its productivity features. This seems to be another feature that could help you save more time.
