You can bookmark up to 50 links or files to the top of channels for quick and easy access, unless your system admin has disabled your ability to do so. Bookmarked links and files display in the bookmarks bar located directly below the channel header.
Tip
Any file added as a channel bookmark is also searchable in Mattermost.
Open a bookmark#
Opening a channel bookmark works the same way as selecting a file link or attachment in a message. Select or tap a bookmark to view the file or link.

The bookmarks bar is hidden by default when a channel has no bookmarks.
