You can save messages and files in Slack to easily refer to them later. Your saved items are only visible to you, and you can access them from the Saved section of Home.
Note: Saved items have moved out of Later (which is now To-dos). This change is rolling out gradually. We appreciate your patience as we make it available to all eligible customers.
