Leave a private channel

If you leave a private channel, you will lose access to the channel and its archives. The channel's messages and files will no longer appear in your search results. To rejoin a private channel, someone in that channel must re-invite you.

• Multi-Channel Guests can leave private channels on their own, but they need to ask a Workspace Admin to remove them from any public channels they wish to leave.
• If a Multi-Channel Guest decides to leave a channel, they cannot rejoin a channel on their own. They must be invited back to it.
