Save Messages for Later in ClickUp
In ClickUp, you can save any important comment or chat message for later so you can return to it when you are ready to take action. This feature helps you keep track of follow-ups, questions, and decisions without losing them in busy conversations.
This guide explains how saving for later works, how to save and unsave items, and how to find everything you have saved in your workspace.
What “Save for Later” Does in ClickUp
The Save for later option lets you quickly bookmark any individual comment or message from different locations in your workspace. These items are added to a dedicated section in your Inbox so they are easy to review and resolve.
You can save for later from these places:
- Task comments
- Chat view
- Chat fields in tasks
- Chat widgets on Dashboards
Each saved item appears with a clear visual indicator so you immediately know it has been saved.
Where to Find Your Saved Items in ClickUp
All messages or comments you save are collected in one central location in ClickUp: the Saved tab in your Inbox.
To open this list:
- Click the Inbox icon in the left sidebar.
- Select the Saved tab at the top of the Inbox view.
From here, you can view, open, and manage everything you have marked to review later.
How to Save a Task Comment for Later in ClickUp
You can save any individual task comment for later review. This is useful for questions you need to answer, approvals you must give, or notes you do not want to forget.
Steps to save a task comment
- Open the task that contains the comment you want to save.
- Hover over the specific comment to reveal the toolbar.
- Click the More menu (three dots).

How to Save Chat View Messages for Later in ClickUp
Chat view is often full of quick discussions, decisions, and ideas. When something requires a follow-up, you can save that specific message for later.
Save a message in Chat view
- Open the Chat view where the message appears.
- Hover over the message you want to save.

The message is immediately added to your Saved tab and marked with a visible Saved label in the chat.

- Locate the saved chat message.

How to Save Task Chat Field Messages for Later in ClickUp
Some tasks use a chat field, which is a dedicated space in a task for quick conversations. You can also save messages from this chat field for later.

How to Save Dashboard Chat Widget Messages for Later in ClickUp
If you use a chat widget on a Dashboard, you can also save messages from there. This keeps Dashboard conversations aligned with the rest of your saved items.

How to Unsave Comments and Messages in ClickUp
You can remove items from the Saved list at any time when they are no longer needed. Unsaving does not delete the comment or message; it simply removes the Saved status.
Unsave from the original comment or message
- Go to the task, Chat view, chat field, or Dashboard where the comment or message was saved.
- Hover over the item and open the More menu (three dots).
- Click Unsave.
The Saved label disappears, and the item is removed from the Saved tab in the Inbox.
Unsave directly from the Inbox Saved tab
- Click Inbox in ClickUp.
- Open the Saved tab.
- Find the item you want to unsave.
- Click the More menu or context option associated with that entry.
- Select Unsave to remove it from the list.
Best Practices for Using Save for Later in ClickUp
To get more value from Save for later, consider these simple practices:
- Use it as a personal follow-up list. Save any message that requires an action from you, then work through your Saved tab regularly.
- Limit what you save. Only save items that truly need attention so the list stays focused and useful.
- Clear resolved items. As soon as you complete a follow-up, unsave the item to keep your Saved tab tidy.
- Combine with task creation. When appropriate, create tasks from important messages and still save those messages for quick reference.
