# Is there a way to "highlight" or bookmark a message in slack so that it is easy to come back to?

One of the best parts of slack is that we are able to search through our history. However, we don't always remember which thread a question is in or who sent it or the keywords. Is there a way to bookmark a message so it is easier to come back to?
