Save messages and files You can save messages and files in Slack to bookmark them and reference them later.
What to expect
Saving a message will also include any thread replies that have been added to it.
When a file is uploaded with an added message, you can choose to save only the file, or the file and its associated message together.
To remove a message or file from your saved items, hover over it on desktop or tap it on mobile and select the save icon .
Tip: The messages and files that you save are only visible to you. To help make a message or file easier to reference for other members, try pinning the item to a channel .
