Get help and use slash commands

The Slack app has a help menu that can give you details about what you can do, and it describes the slash commands that you can use to interact with the app and your feature flags. To access the Help menu, type /launchdarkly or /launchdarkly help in your Slack client’s text bar and press Enter. The LaunchDarkly help menu appears with a list of available options.
