Star a message

Starring messages is a good way to keep track of important messages, such as tasks you need to go back to or documents you reference often.

Star a message

  1. Hover over a message to reveal three icons on the right.

  2. Click the star () icon.

  1. Long press on a message.

  2. Select Star message in the menu that appears.

Starred messages have a filled in star () to their right. You can unstar a message using the same instructions used to star it.

View your starred messages

You can view your starred messages by clicking Starred messages in the left sidebar, or by searching for is:starred.

By default, Zulip displays the number of starred messages in the left sidebar; this allows you to use them as an inbox of messages you'd like to come back to. If you are using starred messages for something else and would prefer not to see the count in your left sidebar, you can disable that feature.

  1. Go to Display settings.

  2. Under Advanced, toggle Show counts for starred messages.
