-#### Full Name
-Full names appear in the Direct Messages member list and team management modal. By default, you will receive mention notifications when someone types your first name. Entering a full name is optional.

-#### Username
-Usernames appear next to all posts. Pick something easy for teammates to recognize and recall. By default, you will receive mention notifications when someone types your username.
-
-####Nickname
-Nicknames appear in the Direct Messages member list and team management modal. You will not receive mention notifications when someone types your nickname unless you add it to the *Words That Trigger Mentions* in **Account Settings > Notifications**.
-
-#### Email
-Email is used for sign-in, notifications, and password reset. Email requires verification if changed. If you are signing in using a single sign-on service, the email field is not editable and you will receive email notifications to the email you used to sign up to your SSO service.
-
-#### Profile Picture
-Profile pictures appear next to all posts and in the top of the channels pane next to your name. All users have a generic profile picture when they sign up for an account. Edit your profile picture by clicking **Select** and then choosing a picture in either JPG or PNG format that’s at least 128px wide and 128px high. For best results, choose an image that is square with the subject of interest centered. If you edit your profile picture, all past posts will appear with the new picture.
-
-##Security
-Settings to configure your password, view access history, and view or logout of active sessions.
-
-#### Password

-
-#### View Access History
-Access History displays a chronological list of the last 20 login and logout attempts, channel creations and deletions, account settings changes, or channel setting modifications made on your account. Click **More Info** to view the IP address and session ID of each action.
-
-#### View and Logout of Active Sessions
-Sessions are created when you log in with your email and password to a new browser on a device. Sessions let you use Mattermost for up to 30 days without having to log in again.

-
-## Notifications

-
-#### Words That Trigger Mentions
-By default, you will receive mention notifications from your non-case sensitive username, mentioned @username, @all, and @channel.

-# Channels
-___
-
-## Channel Types
-Channels organize conversations across different topics. There are three types of channels: Public Channels, Private Groups, and Direct Messages.
-
-
-#### Public Channels
-Public Channels are open to everyone on a team. New team members are automatically a part of two Public Channels: Town Square and Off-Topic.
-
-#### Private Groups
-Private Groups are for sensitive topics and are only visible to select team members. Any member of a Private Group can add additional members. Group members can choose to leave at any time, but only the group owner or team administrator can remove other members.
-
-#### Direct Messages
-Direct Messages are for conversations between two team members. These conversations are only visible to the two team members involved.
-
-## Managing Channels
-Channels can be created, joined, renamed, left and deleted.
-
-#### Creating a Channel
-Create a new Public Channel or Private Group by selecting the **+** symbol next to the *Channels* or *Private Groups* header on the left hand side. To start a direct message thread, click **More** at the bottom of the *Direct Messages* list to view a list of team members you can message.
-
-#### Joining a Channel
-Click **More** at the bottom of the *Channels* list to view a list of Public Channels you can join. To join a Private Group you need to be added by a member of that group.

-Click the channel name at the top of the center pane to access the drop-down menu, then click **Leave Channel**. Any team member who leaves a Private Group must be added back by a group member if they wish to rejoin. Team members will not receive mention notifications from channels of which they are not members.
-
-#### Deleting a Channel

Customize what activity causes the channel name to be bolded by accessing the channel name drop-down menu, then click **Notification Preferences > Mark Channel Unread**.
-
-#### Channel Header

-# Creating Teams
-___
-New teams can be created if the System Administrator has *Enable Team Creation* set to true from the system console.
-
-## Methods to Create a Team
-Teams can be created from the main menu, system home page or team sign in page.
-
-#### Main Menu
-Click the **Three-Dot** menu in Mattermost, then select **Create a New Team**. If this option is not visible in the menu, then the System Administrator has *Enable Team Creation* set to false.
-
-
-#### System Home Page
-Navigate to the web address of your system, `https://domain.com/`. Enter a valid email address and click **Create Team** to be guided through the rest of the set up steps. If this option is not visible on the web page, then the System Administrator has *Enable Team Creation* set to false. It is not necessary to have an existing account on the system in order to create a team from the system home page.
-
-#### Team Sign In Page
-Navigate to the web address of your team, `https://domain.com/teamurl/`. If you are logged in, the web address will open Mattermost and you can create a new team from the main menu. If you are logged out, the web address will direct you to the sign in page where you can click **Create a New Team**. If this option is not visible on the web page, then the System Administrator has *Enable Team Creation* set to false. It is not necessary to have an existing account on the system in order to create a team from the sign in page.
-
-## Team Name and URL Selection
-There are a few details and restrictions to consider when selecting a team name and team URL.
-
-#### Team Name
-This is the display name of your team that appears in menus and headings.
-
-- It can contain any letters, numbers or symbols.
-- It is case sensitive.
-- It must be 4 - 15 characters in length.
-
-#### Team URL
-The team URL is part of the web address that navigates to your team on the system domain, `https://domain.com/teamurl/`.
-
-- It may contain only lowercase letters, numbers and dashes.
-- It must start with a letter and cannot end in a dash.
-- It must be 4 - 15 characters in length.
-
-If the system administrator has *Restrict Team Names* set to true, the team URL cannot start with the following restricted words: www, web, admin, support, notify, test, demo, mail, team, channel, internal, localhost, dockerhost, stag, post, cluster, api, oauth.
-
-## User Roles on Multiple Teams
-Each user is distinct and owned by a team. A team creator is automatically granted Team Administrator privileges for that team, even if they are a System Administrator on another team. A System Administrator with accounts on multiple teams must grant all their accounts *System Admin* privileges from the system console. To do this, go to the **Main Menu > System Console**, then click **Users** under the *Teams* heading for the team you want to manage.

-# Manage Members
-
-The Manage Members menu is used to change the user roles assigned to members belonging to a team.
-
-## User Roles
-
-The following user roles are assigned from the **Manage Members** menu option in the team site main menu.
-
-### System Admin
-
-The System Administrator is typically a member of the IT staff and has the follow privileges:
-
-- Access to the System Console from the main menu in any team site.
-- Change any setting on the Mattermost server available in the System Console.
-- Promote and demote other users to and from the System Admin role.
-- This role also has all the privileges of the Team Administrator as described below
-
-The first user added to a newly installed Mattermost system is assigned the System Admin role.
-
-### Team Admin
-
-The Team Administrator is typically a non-technical end user and has the following privileges:
-
-- Access to the "Team Settings" menu from the team site main menu
-- Ability to change the team name and import data from Slack export files
-- Access to the "Manage Members" menu and change user roles to the levels of Team Administrator, Member and Inactive
-
-### Member
-
-This is the default role given to end users who join the system. Members have basic permissions to use the Mattermost team site.
-
-### Inactive
-
-This status is given to users whose accounts are marked inactive. These users can no longer log into the system.
-
-Because Mattermost is designed as a system-of-record, there is not an option to delete users from the Mattermost system, as such an operation could compromise the integrity of message archives.

-# Search
-
-The search box in Mattermost brings back results from any channel of which you’re a member. No results are returned from channels where you are not a member - even if they are open channels.
-
-#### Some things to know about search:
-
-- Multiple search terms are connected with “OR” by default. Typing in `Mattermost website` returns results containing “Mattermost” or “website”
-- Use `from:` to find posts from specific users and `in:` to find posts in specific channels. For example: Searching `Mattermost in:town-square` only returns messages in Town Square that contain `Mattermost`
-- Use quotes to return search results for exact terms. For example: Searching `"Mattermost website"` returns messages containing the entire phrase `"Mattermost website"` and not messages containing only `Mattermost` or `website`
-- Use the `*` character for wildcard searches that match within words. For example: Searching for `rea*` brings back messages containing `reach`, `reason` and other words starting with `rea`
-- Click on the **Jump** link on the right of a search result to view the post archive in the center channel
-
-#### Limitations:
-
-- Search in Mattermost uses the full text search features included in either a MySQL or Postgres database, which has some limitations
- - Special cases that are not supported in default full text search, such as searching for IP addresses like `10.100.200.101`, can be added in future as the search feature evolves
- - Two letter searches and common words like "this", "a" and "is" won't appear in search results
- - For searching in Chinese try adding * to the end of queries

-# Sign-in
-
-You can sign-in to your team from the web address of `https://domain.com/teamname`.
-
-There are several options for signing in to your team depending on how your System Administrator has configured your server.
-
-#### Email address and password sign-in
-
-When enabled by your System Administrator, you can sign in using the combination of email address and password used to create your account.
-
-If you have forgotten your password, you should be able to reset it from the "I forgot my password" option on the sign-in screen, or contact your System Administrator if you need help resetting your password.
-
-#### GitLab Single-Sign-On (SSO) option
-
-When enabled by your System Administrator, you can sign-in using your GitLab account using a one-click sign-in option. GitLab SSO lets you create teams, create accounts on teams, and sign-in to teams using one username, email address, and password that works across everything on the server.
-
-#### Switching Teams
-
-When you've used the same email address to sign-up and sign-in to multiple teams, you can switch among those teams using the main menu in any team site on the server. By default, devices remember which teams you have signed into for 30 days.
-
-#### System Adminstrator Role
-
-If your account in a given team has been given the System Administrator role, it has access to the System Console. The System Administrator role does not apply to accounts created in other teams using the same email address, since user accounts are unique to teams.
-
-#### Logging Out
-
-You can log out from the main menu, which is accessed by clicking the three dots in the top header on the left side of the screen. Clicking "Logout" logs you out of all teams that are signed-in and open in your browser.

-
-### Import
-
-#### Import from Slack (Beta)
-
-*Note: As a proprietary SaaS service, Slack is able to change its export format quickly and without notice. If you encounter issues not mentioned in the documentation below, please alert the product team by [filing an issue](https://github.com/mattermost/platform/issues).*
-
-The Slack Import feature in Mattermost is in "Beta" and focus is on supporting migration of teams of less than 100 registered users. To use:
-
-1. Generate a Slack "Export" file from **Slack > Team Settings > Import/Export Data > Export > Start Export**.
-
-2. In Mattermost go to **Team Settings > Import > Import from Slack**. _Team Owner_ or _Team Administrator_ role is required to access this menu option.
-
-3. Click **Select file** to upload Slack export file and click **Import**.
-
-4. Emails and usernames from Slack are used to create new Mattermost accounts.
-
-5. Slack users can activate their new Mattermost accounts by using Mattermost's Password Reset screen with their email addresses from Slack to set new passwords for their Mattermost accounts.
-
-6. Once logged in, the Mattermost users will have access to previous Slack messages in the public channels imported from Slack.
-
-**It is highly recommended that you test Slack import before applying it to an instance intended for production.** If you use Docker, you can spin up a test instance in one line (`docker run --name mattermost-dev -d --publish 8065:80 mattermost/platform`). If you don't use Docker, there are [step-by-step instructions](../install/Docker-Single-Container.md) to install Mattermost in preview mode in less than 5 minutes.
-
-#### Notes:
-
-- Users are not automatically added to channels or groups when importing from Slack.
-- Newly added markdown support in Slack's Posts 2.0 feature announced on September 28, 2015 is not yet supported.
-- Slack does not export files or images your team has stored in Slack's database. Mattermost will provide links to the location of your assets in Slack's web UI.
-- Slack does not export any content from private groups or direct messages that your team has stored in Slack's database.
-- In Beta, Slack accounts with usernames or email addresses identical to existing Mattermost accounts will not import and mentions do not resolve as Mattermost usernames (still shows Slack ID). No pre-check or roll-back is currently offered.
