Visibility
When you mark a block, response or chat message for follow up, anyone who views that content will be able to see that you plan to follow up on it. If you're using the inbox to triage through threads, your teammates won't be able to see which of those threads you plan to follow up on.
This visibility can be a useful to set the expectation that you plan to follow up on the content later, so the person who sees this status can keep that context in mind.
