Hey Team AVOXI,

Time for another IT Tip of the week. This week we are focused on how to save your work notes more securely.

With Slack's direct message interface, it's easy to send yourself quick private reminders and notes that you can read later on any device. Here's how:

Find the entry in the direct message list that says your name with "(You)" after it. For example, if your name is Luke Skywalker, you'll see "Luke Skywalker (You)" on the list. Click or tap on it.

The screen will change into a direct message conversation view. But, in this case, you're not talking to someone else on Slack: this is a private area where you can store notes to yourself.

You can paste anything you want in your private direct message area, including images and links. Slack will keep track of when you posted it by day, and each entry is timestamped for later reference. You can even upload a file attachment or insert a link you want to view later.

Later, you can see your notes on any device by logging into Slack using either the appropriate app or the Slack web interface.

Stay productive and keep rocking,

The AVOXI IT Team
