You can organize your Team content with Tabs

What are Team Tabs?

Tabs allow team members to access services and content in a dedicated space within a channel or in a chat. This lets the team work directly with tools and data, and have conversations about the tools and data, all within the context of the channel or chat.

Tabs can be added to help users easily access and manage the data they need or interact with the most.
