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.

# Star 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
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{tab|desktop}
|
|
{!message-actions.md!}
|
|
|
|
1. Click the **star** (<i class="fa fa-star-o"></i>) icon.
|
|
|
|
{tab|mobile}
|
|
|
|
1. Long press on a message.
|
|
|
|
1. Select **Star message** in the menu that appears.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
Starred messages have a filled in star (<i class="fa fa-star"></i>) to
|
|
their right. You can unstar a message using the same instructions
|
|
used to star it.
|
|
|
|
## View your starred messages
|
|
|
|
You can view your starred messages by clicking **Starred messages** in the
|
|
left sidebar, or by [searching](/help/search-for-messages) for `is:starred`.
|
|
|
|
By default, Zulip displays the number of starred messages in the left
|
|
sidebar; this allows you to use them as an inbox of messages you'd
|
|
like to come back to. If you are using starred messages for something
|
|
else and would prefer not to see the count in your left sidebar, you
|
|
can disable that feature.
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|display-settings}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Advanced**, toggle **Show counts for starred messages**.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
