Sometimes, you need time to be notification-free. If you're part of a Slack workspace that you no longer need to be in, you may be able to leave easily and thereby minimize your digital profile.

However, to get this done, your workspace would need to be an Enterprise Grid organization, which is a paid version of Slack built for companies to have several different workspaces. And even if it is, if you're trying to leave your default workspace, you'll still have to contact the workspace owner or an administrator for assistance.

With that in mind, here's how to leave a Slack workspace on a PC or Mac computer.

2. Select "Leave #workspace."

If you don't have the ability to leave, you won't see the option listed on that menu. In that case, you either don't have the correct version of Slack, or you're in a default workspace and will have to get help from an administrator to leave.
