When to use

Starring in Workflowy lets you pin your most important bullets and searches for quick access.

Whether it’s today’s to-do list, a project dashboard, or a filtered view (like #priority tasks), starring saves it to your sidebar so you can jump back anytime.

It’s like creating shortcuts to your most-used parts of Workflowy - no digging, no scrolling.

Star a search

Workflowy will update in real-time with any matches as you type. By default Workflowy will also show partial matches. For exact matches, put your text in quotation marks “”.Starring an item also saves the zoom level to that item.

Un-star a search

Un-start an item to remove an item from the STARRED section in the sidebar and the “Jump to” menu.

Name a starred search

You can give a starred search a custom name in the left-hand sidebar. This name can also be used with the jump-to menu to quickly perform the search.
