Global Setup
You can access Slack Connector global setup (Fig.3, 4, 5) by clicking Configure or Get Started button in Universal Plugin Manager, under Manage Add-ons section (Fig.1). The same result you can get by using Slack Connector Setup link at very bottom of the Jira's Administration -> Sytem page. (Fig.2). By using Slack Connector's global setup page you can:

Overwiew the list of all dedicated project and issue channels, change their configuration or remove them

Threading Configuration
On the global setup page, you can enable threading for instance-level notifications:
Check "Enable threading" to activate the feature
Choose your threading mode:
- Group notifications by issue - Each issue gets its own thread
- Group notifications by project - Each project gets its own thread
- Use single thread for all notifications - All notifications in one thread
Threading helps keep your Slack channels organized and makes it easier to follow specific issues or projects.
