# Starring 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
You can star a message by hovering over any message. The timestamp of the message should be replaced with three context buttons while hovering, one of which is a star. Click on this to star the message.

When a message is starred, a small green star appears next to the timestamp of the message.
