Leave and Join Departments

Few things are more disruptive during the workday than being inundated with messages unrelated to your tasks or projects. If you find yourself belonging to a department that no longer aligns with your job description, leaving it is simple.

Click on the ellipsis menu located on the right side of the "Departments" heading, then select "Manage departments."

⚠️ Your menu options will vary based on your user type/permissions.

The popup modal will show both public and private departments.

Select "Leave department" for the department you want to exit.

A confirmation popup modal will appear to confirm the action. Once "Yes" is selected, the side panel will be updated to reflect this change.

⚠️ If you are the last member of a private department and choose to leave, a message like the one below will appear, and the workspace owner, admins, and managers will receive an email notification. If necessary, they can also unarchive the department from the workspace settings.

All users have the option to "Join department" in the Public tab.

Owners, admins, and managers have the ability to "Join department" in the private tab as long as the department is not archived. Users, on the other hand, will need to be re-invited into private departments.
