With their latest feature, they don’t! Instagram is taking another leaf out of Snapchat’s book, as with the latter’s ‘Memories’ feature, Instagram has followed in their footsteps with the [launch of ‘Highlights’](https://instagram-press.com/blog/2017/12/05/introducing-stories-highlights-and-stories-archive/). Now you can combine all of your favourite Stories’ posts in one place. It’s a great way for new followers to see the best bits of your brand without having to scroll through all of your posts. ### How do you create a ‘Highlight’? 1. You’ll first have to share your snap or video on your Story. This will then be automatically saved into your ‘Archive’ - you can access this by selecting the clock icon on the top right hand side of your profile.  ![tumblr_inline_p609t2wdsf1s9st2e_540](https://78.media.tumblr.com/34f002c5267f348fcdcf75f4f62e410c/tumblr_inline_p609t2wdsf1s9st2e_540.png) \[[Image Source](http://blog.instagram.com/post/168221445012/171205-highlights)\] 2. Search through your ‘Archive’ for a selection of posts that tell a story. From a brand launch to an exciting campaign, the possibilities are endless. 3. Next, create a name and select a cover that sum up your new ‘Highlight’. Try to pick something that your existing audience, as well as new customers, will understand. ![Instragram highlight](https://www.thriveability.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/pasted%20image%200%20(1)-1.png?width=750&name=pasted%20image%200%20(1)-1.png "Instragram highlight")\[[Image Source](http://blog.instagram.com/post/168221445012/171205-highlights)\] 4.
