1717A Slack workspace or Enterprise Grid pairs with one Claude organization at a time.

19To move a pairing to a different Claude organization, an Owner in the organization that currently holds it must [disconnect it](#revoke-a-pairing) first. Until then, Claude Tag refuses the new pairing as [already connected to a different organization](/docs/claude-tag/admins/troubleshooting#already-connected-to-a-different-organization). Once the pairing moves, changes the previous organization's admins make in their settings no longer reach that workspace.

2929In any channel of the new workspace, send `@Claude connect` with no other text, as a new top-level message or in a thread where Claude isn't already working, then paste the code Claude sends you into the dialog.

57If some workspaces in the Grid already installed the app on their own, leave those installations in place and choose **Install to entire organization** anyway. Don't uninstall first, because uninstalling the app from a workspace [deletes that workspace's Claude data](/docs/claude-tag/concepts/data-lifecycle#actions-in-slack).

9292| **New** | Claude Tag. Bundles, skills, and custom instructions apply |

9595
9696Turning off **Respond in all channels** doesn't stop Claude in a workspace or channel whose own enable switch is on. On the Enterprise plan, launching setup for a single workspace turns on that workspace's enable switch, so Claude keeps responding in that workspace. The switch is at the top of the **General** tab on the **Slack** page, which sets the default for every workspace and channel. Direct messages from members who have connected a Claude account are unaffected.

9898Both versions answer through the same @Claude app, so turning off a workspace's or channel's enable switch silences the Legacy version there too.

129Turn off **Respond in channels** on the **Slack** page. An @-mention in any channel gets "Claude is disabled in this channel" while the switch is off. One-to-one direct messages from members who have connected a Claude account keep working. To stop those too, go to [`claude.ai/admin-settings/claude-tag`](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/claude-tag), click **Edit** on the **Direct messages** row, and turn off [**Allow direct messages**](/docs/claude-tag/admins/restrict-access#allow-or-disable-direct-messages). For members who haven't connected an account, see [Stop direct messages from members without a Claude account](/docs/claude-tag/admins/restrict-access#stop-direct-messages-from-members-without-a-claude-account).

Everything you set on the **Slack** page and on each workspace's and channel's page, such as [bundles](/docs/claude-tag/admins/attach-to-scope) and [custom instructions](/docs/claude-tag/admins/attach-to-scope#add-custom-instructions), applies again. A workspace that was turned off on its own stays off, along with its channels.

173173After you disconnect, the workspace leaves the **Connected workspaces** list. If it was your only connected workspace, the top of Claude Tag admin settings shows that it was disconnected from Slack, with a **Reconnect** button. **Reconnect** reopens the pairing dialog, where you redeem a fresh code from `@Claude connect`.
174174
175The Slack app stays installed, so a workspace admin can pair the workspace again by sending `@Claude connect` in it, to the same Claude organization or a different one. If you intend the data to be deleted, wait a few minutes before pairing the workspace to the same organization again, because a new pairing that arrives while the deletion is still starting can cancel it. Once the deletion has run, the new pairing starts without the deleted data. Uninstalling the app from the workspace in Slack deletes the same data, whether or not you disconnected first; see [Quiet or remove Claude Tag](/docs/claude-tag/admins/restrict-access#quiet-or-remove-claude-tag).
