In plain words

Slack 2.0 is an update to the messaging platform that simplifies navigation and customization for work teams. The release introduces a redesigned navigation system, an updated compose button, and the ability to organize the sidebar into custom sections. Users can access apps and workflows through a dedicated shortcuts button, with new themes coming in future updates. The changes aim to make the platform more intuitive and adaptable to different working styles.
