We're introducing a new user feature in Microsoft Teams that allows individuals to save any message-whether it's a post, reply, or chat-and access it later from the Saved view in their Chat or Teams list. Clicking a saved message will open the full conversation in the right pane, enabling users to review or respond directly. This helps users quickly return to important information without scrolling through long threads.
