How to temporarily leave a Slack Workspace

To temporarily leave a workspace, launch the Slack application over the browser. Select the workspace name at the top-left corner of the window. A menu will appear. Here, select “Profile“.

Note: You can also do this on your macOS or Windows device. Navigate to the workspace you would like to leave.

Once selected, the Workspace Profile will be displayed. Click the icon with three vertical dots. This will prompt another drop-down menu. Please, select “Account Settings.”

Afterward, the system will guide you to the “Account Settings” tab within the chosen Slack workspace.

Note: If you are doing this on your PC, the tab will open in your default browser and you will have to sign in to your Slack workspace to proceed.

In this window, please scroll down to the “Deactivate Account” option. Since we are interested in deactivating the workspace, click on the “Deactivate Your Account” button.

Please enter your password in the text box and click “Confirm Password.”

A warning message appears asking you to confirm before deactivating the account. Please, select “Yes, Deactivate My Account.”

Another message appears asking if you’re really sure you want to deactivate your account. Click the box next to “Yes, I Want To Deactivate my account” and then select “Deactivate my account.”

As you can see below, you have now deactivated the Slack workspace. To get in again as discussed above, you must contact the administrator of the Workspace.
