# Channel Files, Read Controls, Notes Polish, and Regional Settings

Channels are better for shared work with file tabs, inline notes and docs, and cleaner read controls. Notes got a more useful sidebar, account preferences now include regional settings, and Drive/file picking feels smoother across the app.

## What’s changed

#### New

- Add files directly to channels so important notes, docs, and other workspace files stay one click away from the conversation
- Notes and docs can now open directly inside channel tabs, making it easier to discuss and edit shared work without leaving the channel
- Channels and DMs now support marking conversations as read or unread from the sidebar menu
- Account preferences now include regional settings for locale and timezone, with quick actions for using your browser or device defaults

#### Improved

- The Notes sidebar has a refreshed layout with starred notes, clearer folders, and faster actions for creating pages and folders
- Drive file picking is smoother and easier to scan, with a better picker view, animated transitions, and improved upload states
- Channel tabs have a cleaner design with file type icons, smoother active states, and a safer close interaction
- Message lists now keep their scroll position feeling natural when switching between conversations
- Suggestion cards, headers, buttons, and home prompts received a broad visual polish pass
