+## Private channel and information barriers (preview)
+
+When SharePoint Information barriers are enabled in your organization, any new private channel site automatically inherits its parent Microsoft Team's IB mode within 24 hours. The mode for a private channel is assigned as follows:
+
+| **Parent Team's IB mode** | **Private channel site's IB mode** |
+|:--|:--|
+| Open | Open |
+| Implicit or Owner Moderated | Implicit |
+
+Private channel site access and sharing is governed by its IB mode:
+
+- Private channel site with *Open* information barriers mode
+ - Access is allowed to anyone who has site access permissions
+ - Sharing links are allowed per the site's existing sharing policy
+ - People picker allows discoverability of user per the sharer's IB policy
+
+- Private channel site with *Implicit* information barriers mode
+ - Access is allowed to user who is currently a member of the private channel
+ - Sharing is allowed using **People with existing access link**
+
+Private channel sites already configured in your organization will have their information barriers mode set as *Open*. To configure existing private channel sites to *Implicit* mode, run the following cmdlet in SharePoint Powershell module:
+
+```powershell
+Set-Sposite -Identity <site URL> -InformationBarriersMode Implicit
+```
