    Seems like a simple solution would be to allow the user to "unlock" the tabs, rearrange them left to right, with the default one being the left most tab. Then the user could "re-lock" the tabs to prevent them from moving unintentionally.

    Changing the default Tab from Posts and not being able to modify the default channel General are limiting users at our organization from wide-scale adoption. Please adopt these features!

    This needs to happen! Too many clicks to get to what we need to see.

    I dont have a need to see the Posts tab first, but rather interested in seeing the files tab as a default. This should be a user based preference

    Seems like a basic feature to be missing.
    I have to add a post on the Posts tab saying to click on the tab I want people to use.

    Our staff either needs to hide the 2 built in defaults or make another tab the default. Very poor design to not allow it. You allow rearranging other tabs that you make but not the 2 annoying defaults?

    Would Like to see the ability to default to a specific tab when a team is selected. I dont have a need to see the Posts tab first, but rather interested in seeing the files tab as a default. This should be a user based preference. Please !

    We have a customer we are working for that needs this feature as the Team is created to be the Intranet space and the home page tab (connected to SharePoint) should be the landing page or default tab as you click on the team -> general channel.
    Please do this feature :)

    This would greatly improve usability and save time for users! It's sometimes not intuitive that a channel is for and having this functionality it will be possible to make ie. a FAQ site visible by default

    It would be much more useful to have the default on the "files" tab and not conversations, or be able to set your own default

    Agree with all who have previously requested this feature - it's needed!
