View your saved items
Your saved items will be organized into three separate tabs within Later:
In progress In progress is where you’ll find your reminders and newly saved items. From here, you can jump to the messages and files in their original conversations, archive them, mark them as complete, or set a date and time to receive a reminder.
Archived Archived is the place to store a message or file you’ll need down the road. It could be something you reference often, or something that doesn’t have a task associated with it but is still handy to keep around.
Completed When you’re done with a saved message or file, you can mark it as complete to check it off your to-do list. Anything you mark as complete will be moved to Completed in case you need to come back to it later.
Tip: Move completed items back to In progress by clicking the three dots icon and selecting Move to In progress.
