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.

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.
