Automatic sign-out logs users out of Slant after a period of no activity. Once enabled, Slant clears the page and signs the user out across every open tab when the timeout is reached.
Only admins can change this setting. It applies to every user in the company.

​
Configure the timeout

1

Open company settings

Go to Settings → Company profile.
2

Find the Automatic sign-out row

Look for Automatic sign-out with the description “Sign users out after a period of inactivity.”
3

Choose a timeout

Use the dropdown to pick Never, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, 8 hours, or 12 hours. The change saves automatically.
Set the dropdown back to Never to turn the feature off.

​
What users see

About a minute before the timeout fires, Slant shows a Still there? warning with a live countdown and two buttons:
  • Stay signed in — resets the timer and keeps the session active
  • Sign out now — signs the user out immediately
If no action is taken, Slant blanks the page, clears local data, and signs the user out. Any other tabs they have open are signed out at the same time.

​
What counts as activity

Slant resets the timer on clicks, keystrokes, touches, and scrolling (including the mouse wheel). Mouse movement on its own does not count as activity.

FAQ

No. Automatic sign-out only applies to interactive browser sessions. API tokens continue to work until they are revoked.
Slant saves most edits as you go, but anything in a draft state (for example, a half-written email) can be lost when the session is signed out. Set the timeout long enough that your team won’t be surprised in the middle of a task.
No. The timeout is set once per company and applies to everyone. Set it to Never if you don’t want any automatic sign-out.
