TEAM FILE COLLECTION · Workflow idea

Keep useful shared files close to the conversation they came from.

When a teammate shares a photo, document, or video in an approved team space, make the file available for a defined project or support task. Keep its message context and source visible, check access and sensitivity, and have an authorized person confirm its purpose and destination before it is archived or shared more widely.

Helps teams find and prepare media shared in conversations for appropriate follow-up, archiving, or review.

  1. Watch approved team conversations for shared files

    Identify relevant attachments in the channels or project spaces selected by an authorized owner.

  2. Keep the file connected to its source message

    Retain the sharing date, conversation reference, and context needed to understand why the file was provided.

  3. Prepare an accessible review copy

    Make the selected media available to the responsible team without changing its original content.

  4. Check the file and its intended use

    Have a teammate verify the attachment, project relevance, privacy, and rights before relying on it.

  5. Approve storage or onward sharing

    Require an authorized owner to confirm the exact file, destination, access, and recipients before it is moved or shared.

The handoff

Keep in mind

A shared file may include personal, confidential, or restricted information, and a private source link does not make broader distribution appropriate. Limit collection to approved spaces, preserve the original context, restrict access, and require an authorized person to approve the exact file and destination before storing or sharing it outside its original audience.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Select approved team spaces and file types

Define the conversations and attachments that may be collected for the stated project purpose.

Choose a useful source record

Keep enough message and date context to identify who shared the file and what work it relates to.

Set file privacy and retention rules

Limit access to appropriate teammates and decide how long collected copies should be kept.

Assign file and destination reviewers

Name who confirms the file’s use and approves its exact storage location or onward audience.
