These files are not Jinja2 templates, so there's no reason that they needed to be inside `templates/zerver`. Moving them to the top level reflects their importance and also makes it feel nicer to work on editing the help center content, without it being unnecessary buried deep in the codebase.

# Reading strategies
|
|
|
|
In Zulip, streams determine who gets a message. Topics tell you what
|
|
the message is about. If you are not yet familiar with Zulip's topics,
|
|
we recommend first reading about [streams and
|
|
topics](/help/streams-and-topics).
|
|
|
|
This article details a few ways to efficiently read through messages
|
|
in Zulip.
|
|
|
|
## Topic by topic
|
|
|
|
Like your email inbox, for most users, Zulip works best if you read it
|
|
topic-by-topic.
|
|
|
|
### Finding a topic to read
|
|
|
|
#### From Recent conversations
|
|
|
|
{!recent-conversations.md!}
|
|
|
|
#### From the list of streams
|
|
|
|
{!left-sidebar-topics.md!}
|
|
|
|
### Reading topics

|
## Stream view
|
|
|
|
Sometimes it's useful to scroll through all the messages in a stream,
|
|
especially in situations where you just want a general idea of what's going
|
|
on.
|
|
|
|
* Click on a stream name in the left sidebar, and scroll using your mouse,
|
|
the arrow keys, <kbd>End</kbd>, or page up/down.
|
|
|
|
* Click on a topic to narrow to messages from that topic.
|
|
|
|
You can also search for a stream by clicking on **STREAMS** in the
|
|
left sidebar, or using the <kbd>Q</kbd> [keyboard
|
|
shortcut](/help/keyboard-shortcuts).
|
|
|
|
## All messages
|
|
|
|
{!all-messages.md!}
|
|
|
|
## Starring messages for later
|
|
|
|
You can [star messages](/help/star-a-message) that you've seen and would
|
|
like to reply to later.
