# 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
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{tab|desktop}
|
|
{!message-actions.md!}
|
|
|
|
1. Click the **star** (<i class="fa fa-star-o"></i>) icon.
|
|
|
|
{tab|mobile}
|
|
|
|
1. Long press on a message.
|
|
|
|
1. Select **Star message** in the menu that appears.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
Starred messages have a filled in star (<i class="fa fa-star"></i>) 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](/help/search-for-messages) 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.
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|display-settings}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Advanced**, toggle **Show counts for starred messages**.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
