Working with outside partners and freelancers

There are a variety of people that benefit from admission into your organization's workspace. Guests can vary from freelance workers to consultants to partner organizations working on a shared project. No matter the title of your guests, each serves their own purpose and is equally important to the overall success of your team.

If you're a freelance worker or consultant, chances are you don't belong to a singular company and therefore don't fit the mold of the typical Slack user. Freelancers can still be added to shared channels or invited into a workspace for a specified period of time, but once their visit is completed, they could lose all of their messages, files, and information when brought into another workspace. The solution: a single-member team.
