Mark discussion as favorite

Marking a discussion as a favorite keeps it pinned at the top of your sidebar for quick access.

You can favorite a discussion in two ways:

  • From the sidebar: Hover over the discussion, click the three-dot menu (⋯), then select Favorite.

  • Inside the discussion: At the top of the discussion screen, click the star icon next to the discussion name to mark that discussion as Favorite.

To remove a discussion from your favorites, repeat the same steps and select Unfavorite.
