Sorry to be Captain Obvious but the solution for that is to update the official, permanently stored reference docs when a question is asked on slack, not keep the only source of tribal knowledge on a ephemeral chat app.

IMO Slack and chat apps are way overused in development teams. They’re there for questions like “when are we meeting for that team event tonight?” And “Hey, can you review this code before I submit?” And NOT “Can you describe, in massive detail, all the arguments that get passed to our FooBar function?”
