There are a bunch of Chrome extensions that do this, but to capture the Slack app, I recommend using CleanShot X on the Mac or SnagIt! on Windows.īoth of these allow you to select a window to be captured, let you scroll all the way down the windows, and then save that giant constructed graphic as a PNG, JPEG, or PDF. To accomplish this, you'll want to use software that can capture a scrolling page.

This approach takes a screenshot of the entire message thread, even if you have to scroll for page after page. The feature, called Slack Connect, has been slowly rolling out to some of Slack’s. Save archive using scrolling screenshot software A new feature would soon let anyone from outside your company send you a Slack DM (that’s a direct message). The only downside of this approach is that the final saved archive won't look exactly like it does in Slack. The script also has a skipChannels option which skips Channels and exports only direct messages and private channels.

Switch to a blank Word document and click paste.Scroll to the bottom of the thread, hold down your shift key, and click after the last word.Scroll to the very beginning, and left-click on the very first word of text.In Slack, select the message thread you want to save.
