You can change this via the Sidebar section in your Preferences.

Once you’ve joined 30 channels in a workspace, your sidebar settings will switch to Unreads only.

These changes are rolling out gradually starting in March and may take a while before they’re fully visible to everyone in U-M Slack. (Note that channel reminders and recurring reminders will only be visible using “ /remind list” and will not appear in Later.)

New location for personal reminders: Any reminders you’ve set for yourself now appear alongside other items in the new In progress tab, where you can mark them as complete or change the reminder’s timeframe.

(Note that any previously saved items will appear in the Archived tab but can be re-sorted to other tabs.)

New ways to organize your to-do list: Your saved items are now broken up into three tabs: In progress, Archived, and Completed to help you differentiate your work.

New name: In your sidebar, “ Saved items” is now called “ Later.”.

Slack announced they will be making adjustments to and combining your “saved items” and “reminders” into a new sidebar view called “ Later.” The changes include:

New ways to manage tasks, to-do lists, and reminders.

These summaries, however, will not be posted on a monthly basis like Google’s, as Slack updates less frequently.

In an effort to bring you the latest on new features and functionalities, we will be introducing service-specific summaries for Slack, similar to what we currently offer for U-M Google.
