Slack apps can extend Workflow Builder by defining custom workflow steps. Slack describes workflow steps as functions added to an application that can subsequently be selected as steps by users creating workflows in Workflow Builder. Custom steps may be implemented through supported frameworks such as Bolt for Python, Bolt for JavaScript, Bolt for Java, or through Slack's Deno SDK. For Bolt applications, a custom step is defined and paired with a function listener that processes the corresponding execution request. This architecture allows organizations to expose specialized business logic—such as interacting with internal systems—as reusable automation components without requiring workflow creators to write code themselves. Workflow Builder is therefore not restricted to Slack's built-in actions, and using the Web API alone is not the only extension mechanism. Consequently, B accurately describes Slack's supported custom-step capability.

Slack locale information is explicitly opt-in at the API-request level. For a conversation, an application can call conversations.info and set include_locale=true. For an individual member, it can call users.info with the same parameter. Slack then includes the applicable locale field in the returned object. The locale is represented using an IETF language identifier such as en-US or another supported language-region combination. Slack's design guidance recommends using a conversation's locale for content published publicly within that conversation and using the individual user's locale for private or personalized interactions. Option C is incorrect because locale is not included automatically by default. The application must explicitly request it. Option A incorrectly treats locale retrieval as an app-dashboard configuration toggle rather than a Web API argument. Option D refers to API methods that do not exist; Slack uses established methods such as users.info and conversations.info. Applications should also retrieve current locale information when preparing content rather than permanently assuming a user's language preference, because those preferences may change. This directly aligns with Design a Great User Experience, particularly internationalization and localization of Slack application content.

Slack's current Marketplace review policy explicitly requires applications to request only scopes associated with functionality that reviewers can currently test. Developers should not request access for speculative or future features. Because the feature requiring files:read does not yet exist, the application should omit that scope from the present submission. Once the feature has been implemented and can be demonstrated to Slack reviewers, the developer should update the requested OAuth permissions and submit the modified application for review again. That makes C correct. Option B is incorrect because adding a materially new scope to a published Marketplace application cannot simply bypass review. Slack reviews both application functionality and the permissions required to implement it. Options A and D violate least privilege by requesting access before any production feature requires it. This is particularly important for files:read, which Slack currently classifies among scopes that can provide substantial access to workspace data and may therefore trigger enhanced review. The older term App Directory in the source question corresponds to today's Slack Marketplace. This belongs to Distribute Your App, with a strong relationship to security through scope minimization and Marketplace review governance.

A is the current technically correct answer, replacing the uploaded bank's marked C. Slack's current token taxonomy does not define an “Admin” token type. Slack officially distinguishes token types such as bot tokens, user tokens, workflow tokens, and configuration tokens. Administrative authority is expressed through admin.* OAuth scopes attached to a user token, rather than through a separate token type called “Admin.” For example, Slack's official documentation for admin.conversations:read, admin.apps:read, and related Admin API scopes explicitly lists the supported token type as User. To obtain a user token imbued with Admin API scopes, the application must be installed at the entire Enterprise organization level by an authorized Org Admin or Org Owner. The resulting user access token can then call the applicable admin.* methods. Creating, inviting members to, and archiving channels require the appropriate administrative conversation scopes, particularly admin.conversations:*, subject to the installer having the corresponding Channel Management permissions. Therefore, under current Slack documentation, User is the correct token type. “Admin token” is outdated/imprecise terminology because admin describes the permission scope, not a distinct token class. This maps directly to APIs for Managing Your Slack.

Message shortcuts are Slack app shortcuts specifically associated with an existing message. Slack distinguishes them from global shortcuts: global shortcuts can be initiated independently of message or channel context, whereas message shortcuts appear in an individual message's context menu and provide the app with information about that message. This makes message shortcuts particularly appropriate for operations such as creating a task from a message, escalating content, saving information to an external system, or launching a modal pre-populated with message context. Invoking the shortcut generates an interaction payload that the application processes. Message shortcuts are not keyboard-navigation commands, recurring-message schedulers, or administrator-only operations. Their distinguishing characteristic is that they provide an application action tied directly to the message selected by the user. Therefore, A is correct.

Option A is the correct answer from the supplied choices. Slack historically exposed its complete Web API method reference at `api.slack.com/methods`, and that address currently redirects to Slack's modern developer documentation under the Methods reference at `docs.slack.dev/reference/methods/`. The reference contains Slack's available method families, including `admin.*`, `apps.*`, `auth.*`, `chat.*`, `conversations.*`, `files.*`, `users.*`, `views.*`, and many others. Each individual method page identifies supported access mechanisms, OAuth scopes, parameters, response structures, errors, and rate-limit information. The pricing and legal pages are unrelated to API-method documentation, while `app.slack.com/methods` is not Slack's developer method reference. Therefore, A remains valid, although the current canonical documentation location is Slack Developer Docs.

The immediate security priority after loss or theft of an authenticated device is to invalidate the compromised Slack sessions. Slack provides the Admin API method admin.users.session.reset specifically for this purpose. Current documentation states that the method wipes all valid Slack sessions on all devices for the specified user. This provides immediate containment by forcing the user to authenticate again rather than allowing a potentially unauthorized person holding the device to continue using an existing authenticated Slack session. The Audit Logs API can subsequently support investigation by identifying suspicious authentication or administrative activity, but merely monitoring events does not terminate the attacker's access. SCIM de-provisioning is too disruptive as the first response because the employee remains a legitimate member of the organization; the security problem is the compromised device/session rather than employment status. The Discovery API is intended for security/compliance integrations involving organizational content and is not the primary incident-containment mechanism. The applicable Admin API method requires the admin.users:write user-token scope and is available for Enterprise environments. Therefore, D provides the quickest and most proportionate first response. This belongs to APIs for Managing Your Slack, specifically Enterprise session administration and security incident response.

The `slack run` command starts a Slack app in the local development environment and supports the install-and-test workflow against a selected workspace. Slack CLI uses the project's configuration to run the application locally, and current development tooling can watch supported source files and restart the running process when code changes. This enables an iterative development cycle in which the developer edits code, runs or reloads the local app, and immediately tests behavior inside Slack. `slack deploy` serves a different lifecycle purpose for supported hosted applications, while `slack start` and `slack serve` are not the standard commands documented for this workflow. Consequently, B is correct: `slack run` is the command Slack's quickstarts use to run the application locally and make it available for live workspace testing.
