For managers and admins.

Any manager or admin can manage any channel they can see — not only the person who created it. Members cannot.

Right-click the channel in the sidebar.

Channel right-click menu with Category, Rename channel, Make private, and Delete channel
  • Category — move the channel under a different heading.
  • Rename channel — changes the name for everyone.
  • Make private… — turns a public channel private and lets you choose who stays. On a private channel this item is Manage permissions…. Make public… is the reverse.
  • Delete channel — removes the channel and its messages. Confirm in the dialog. This cannot be undone.

Who can see a private channel is covered in Private channels. Creating channels and categories is in Create and organize channels.
