How this helps: See something but can’t act on it right away? Marking a message
as unread will help you remember to go back to it at a later time and take action.
How to do this: In your message, click on the ellipses then in the pop-up window
click “Mark as unread.” Check unread messages in the activity feed or
type “/unread” into the search box.
Bookmarking - Save a message to read later
How this helps: A bookmark lets you save a message or attachment for
later reading or helps you find frequently used information.
How to do this: In a chat, click the bookmark icon in. To find your bookmarked
chats, Type “/saved” in the Search bar to find all your saved messages.
