The + button next to DMs and the search bar in the All DMs pane don't work for this. | |

| Jan 13, 2021 at 1:16 | comment | added | Gandalf458 | @JaimeEspinosa you can click the All DMs button to see recent threads. It's in the left side bar above your starred threads. | |
| Jan 7, 2021 at 19:00 | comment | added | Jaime Espinosa | OK then.... how do I automatically star every conversation so they don't get lost? You can't expect users like me (with memory of a fish) to remember all conversations. Some things take a few days/weeks to resolve. Is there at least a history?? | |
| Dec 20, 2019 at 17:05 | comment | added | Mark | Seems like a legit fix to me. Anything you don't want to go away, you just star. | |
| Aug 16, 2018 at 17:50 | comment | added | Trevor Jex | This is a good temporary fix, although I still think Slack should let you adjust how many DM's you want to display under Direct Messages. | |
| May 9, 2018 at 18:52 | comment | added | Michael Terry | This confused me for a long time. I tried to star a DM from one of my colleagues and nothing happened. I didn't notice you could star the user themselves underneath their name in the DM pane. | |
