Starting in October 2026, you’re getting your own personal to-do list in Slack. Create to-dos to keep track of your action items, reminders, and deadlines. Read on to learn more about to-dos and how to access your existing saved content from   Later.

Note: To-dos are rolling out gradually. We appreciate your patience as we make them available to all customers.

What’s changing

• The   To-dos tab is replacing   Later in the sidebar. 
•   Later items with a reminder are now to-dos. Items without a reminder have been moved to the   Saved section of   Home. 
• Include a reminder on a to-do if you want to be notified about a deadline in   Activity.
• You can add a message or file as a to-do, or manually add your own items to your   To-dos list. 
• Filter your to-dos by due date, completion, and whether there’s a reminder attached. Then clear them out when you’re done.

Where things are moving

As part of this change, existing items from   Later have been split into
  To-dos and   Saved. Here’s where you can find things based on where they were before:

• In progress (with a reminder)
  These items will be converted into to-dos. They’ll appear at the top of   To-dos by default.
• In progress (no reminder)
  In progress items with no reminder will be added to   Saved.
• Archived
  Archived items from   Later will all move to   Saved.
• Completed
  Completed items from   Later will remain in   To-dos. Completed to-dos will appear after In progress to-dos by default.

Create to-dos

Create a to-do from a message

Tip: Creating a to-do doesn’t set a reminder by default. You can add a reminder from the To-dos tab, or by setting a reminder on the message or file instead. 

Create a to-do from a file

Create a custom to-do

View and manage to-dos

You can find all of your to-dos in the   To-dos tab in the sidebar. 

Add, edit, and remove reminders on your to-dos

Complete a to-do

Note: You can also complete to-dos with reminders in   Activity.

Move a to-do to Saved

If items were incorrectly turned into to-dos, or if you simply want to move them, add them to   Saved.

Convert a saved item into a to-do

You can add any saved item to your to-do list.

Clear to-dos

Once you no longer need to keep track of a to-do (whether or not you completed it), you can clear it to remove it from the list.

Tip: Click the   clean up icon on desktop to manage your to-dos in bulk. You can move to-dos to   Saved, mark to-dos as complete based on whether they are overdue, or clear out all your in-progress or completed to-dos.

Filter and sort to-dos

Filter to-dos by status

You can filter your to-dos to only show items that are in-progress or that have been completed.

Filter to-dos by reminder

Use filters to view your to-dos based on their reminder deadline and whether they’re in the past, in the future, or not available.

Sort to-dos

Organize your to-dos by due date or by the date when they were added.
