# Deployments: Manage Agents Across Your Slack Channels

> Use the Deployments view in Scout Studio to deploy agents to Slack channels, track live deployments, and browse available channels across connected workspaces.

The Deployments view is your central place to see and manage which Slack channels your agents are active in. From here you can deploy agents to new channels, track which ones are live, and browse all available channels across your connected workspaces.

## Getting There

In Scout Studio, choose **Deployments** from the left sidebar. You'll see all Slack channels from your connected workspaces, grouped into **Active** and **Inactive**.

## Active and Inactive Channels

**Active** channels have at least one agent running. Each shows its workspace and a set of gradient orbs representing the deployed agents. Multiple agents can be active in a single channel.

**Inactive** channels exist in your workspace but have no agents deployed. Public channels appear with a `#` icon and private channels with a lock icon.

## Deploying an Agent to a Channel

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find the channel">
    Locate your target channel using the search bar, or narrow the list with the **All workspaces** dropdown.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add an agent">
    Click the **+** button on the right side of the channel row.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick the agent">
    Choose the agent you want to deploy from the picker.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Once deployed, the channel moves from **Inactive** to **Active** and the agent's orb appears in its row.

## Adding a New Channel

If the channel you want isn't listed, click **Add agent** in the top right corner. This lets you configure a new Slack channel connection and assign an agent to it.
