# Slack

> Connect Slack and import files visible to your account

Slack needs a one-time **Connect** step that authorizes Polyvia to see the files visible to your Slack account.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click Import from Slack">
    On the Documents page, open the Import dropdown and click **Slack**. If you haven't connected yet, you'll be redirected to Slack to authorize Polyvia. Pick the workspace and approve the requested scopes (`files:read` plus channel-read scopes so Slack returns channel context).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Import a file">
    You'll land back on the Documents page with the Slack picker open. The dialog lists the most recent files visible to your Slack account, with a name filter. Click a file to import.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Polyvia uses a **user token**, so you'll see your own files and channels — not a separate bot's files. Revoking the Polyvia app from your Slack workspace immediately stops new imports; previously-imported files stay in Polyvia.
</Note>

## Logging out

Open **Settings → Integrations** and click **Log out** on the Slack row. Previously imported files remain in Polyvia.
