- Weekly recommendations mean housekeeping doesn't get skipped
- Keep the workspace organized and easier to navigate

Questions about this workflow
What defines 'stale'?
No messages in 30, 60, or 90 days—you set the threshold.
Can Notis archive channels automatically?
Notis can recommend archival, but manual approval prevents accidental deletion. Automating archival requires confirmation from channel owners.
