Channels are containers that store the pre-defined content types available in a digital workplace.
Channels contain almost all content within a workplace. Before creating content, an administrator must add channels to a workplace. The number of channels that can be added is not limited, and it is often beneficial to have multiple channels of the same type within a digital workplace. These channels can focus on different themes (organization news vs. team news) and can have the level of user access to them controlled independently.
A channel's content can be viewed by navigating to it or by creating a view into it using widgets. With widgets, content from multiple channels of the same type can be displayed in one location.
