Microsoft Teams is a collaboration platform that businesses use for their work-related conversations. Microsoft Teams includes one to one chat, group chats, meeting chats, teams channel posts and more. Multiple conversations happen in daily work life, and it includes some very important messages that can be disappeared due to new messages in same thread. Microsoft Teams new Save this message feature will get you rid of this problem.
Microsoft Teams has a previous feature where you can pin messages in chats, but it does not let you see all important messages you have pin in multiple chats. You will have to open each chat to see the pinned messages. But now, Microsoft has introduced a new feature as “Save this message”, it will show you all your saved messages in a section known as “Saved”.
In this post, we will see how to use this feature and where the messages will be saved.

What is Save this Message Feature and How it Works?
Microsoft Teams Save this Message feature allows users to save specific messages in chats (one on one, group chats, meeting chats) or channel posts for quick reference later. It can be a meeting link, action item, or any file that you want to see later.
You can say it like a shortcut to your messages, so any changes made in the original message will reflect in that also. However, the saved message content will be automatically disappeared if you will delete the original message, and it will be shown to you as “This message has been deleted”.
