What occurs when a shared channel is disconnected?

  1. The channel is deleted permanently

  2. Both organizations lose access to the channel

  3. The host workspace keeps the channel with read-only access for the other workspace

  4. Only the original members retain access

The correct answer is: The host workspace keeps the channel with read-only access for the other workspace

When a shared channel is disconnected, the host workspace retains the channel and provides read-only access to the members from the other workspace. This means that while the other organization can no longer post new messages or engage actively in the channel, they can still view the previous messages and history that were shared while the channel was connected. This is particularly important for maintaining some level of continuity and context for users who were part of the collaboration, allowing them to reference past discussions even after the formal connection between the two organizations has been severed. In this scenario, the channel itself remains intact in the host workspace, distinguishing it from options that would imply complete deletion or loss of access for all parties involved. Other choices suggest scenarios where access is completely lost or exclusively retained by specific members, which does not align with how shared channels function in Slack when disconnected.
