# Marking messages as unread
|
|
|
|
Zulip lets you manually mark messages as unread. Specifically, Zulip offers a
|
|
**Mark as unread from here** option, which lets you mark the selected message
|
|
and all newer messages in your current view as unread.
|
|
|
|
There are many ways to use this feature, including:
|
|
|
|
- When you don't have time to read a conversation carefully, or to follow up on
|
|
action items, mark messages as unread to return to them later.
|
|
|
|
- You can mark messages as unread when you [subscribe to a
|
|
channel](/help/introduction-to-channels#browse-and-subscribe-to-channels). This makes it
|
|
[convenient](/help/reading-strategies) to review all the recent
|
|
conversations in that channel.
|
|
|
|
- Mark the results of your [search](/help/search-for-messages) as unread to
|
|
review them at leisure.
