Workspace Administration · Workspace Creation and Design
A consultant is designing a workspace architecture for a university. They want to prevent students from creating unauthorized workspaces using their university email addresses (e.g., @university.edu). Which feature must the Org Owner configure to strictly control this?

Workspace Administration · Workspace Visibility Settings
A large enterprise is rolling out Slack to 50,000 users. They want to ensure that employees can easily find and join relevant workspaces for their region (e.g., 'North America Sales', 'EMEA Marketing') without needing an invitation, but they want to keep executive leadership workspaces completely invisible to the general directory. Which combination of Workspace Visibility settings should be applied?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
'Open' visibility allows users to find and join workspaces freely. 'Hidden' makes the workspace unsearchable in the directory, ensuring executive workspaces remain undiscoverable to unauthorized users.

Workspace Administration · Workspace Consolidation
You are consolidating three separate Business+ workspaces into a single Enterprise Grid organization. During the migration planning, you discover that all three workspaces have a channel named #general and #sales. What will happen to these channels during the migration if no action is taken?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
In Enterprise Grid, channel names must be unique within a workspace, but different workspaces can have channels with the same name (e.g., every workspace has a #general). Therefore, no conflict occurs unless you are trying to share them or merge the workspaces themselves.

Channel and User Group Administration · Channel Setup and Types
A project team has been using a private channel for sensitive product launch discussions. The launch is now public, and the team lead wants to convert the channel to public so the rest of the company can see the history and join the discussion. What is the correct course of action?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
In Slack, you can convert a public channel to private, but you CANNOT convert a private channel back to public. This is a security feature to prevent accidental exposure of sensitive history. The team must create a new public channel.

Channel and User Group Administration · Channel Setup and Types
Which of the following statements about the #general channel are TRUE? (Select TWO)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answers: A, C

The #general channel is the default channel for all full members. They are added automatically and cannot leave this channel.

Channel and User Group Administration · Channel Naming and Lifecycle
A Workspace Admin deletes a channel named #project-alpha because the project is complete. Two weeks later, Legal requests a retention audit of all messages from that project. The organization has a 5-year retention policy set at the Org level. What is the outcome?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
This is a critical distinction. 'Archiving' a channel preserves history according to retention policies. 'Deleting' a channel permanently removes it and all its history immediately. Retention policies do not protect deleted channels.
