Peter’s very helpful guide for catching up on a busy Slack workspace:
- Open the Slack App
- Most messages sent overnight will not display at this point
- Help > Troubleshooting > Clear cache and exit
- Re-open Slack App
- Catch up on all messages
- As you navigate, Slack will display read channels as unread.
