# Share a message or conversation
A message or conversation can be shared on Zulip by creating
a link to the conversation and sharing the link.
{!message-actions-menu.md!}
1. Click **Link to conversation**.
4. Upon clicking **Link to conversation**, **topic** and **near** search
operators will be used to create a link that narrows your messages to the
selected message's conversation. Now, the URL in your web browser will link
directly to the relevant message.
!!! tip ""
**Note:** All the messages in the relevant message's conversation will
also be displayed when the link is navigated to.
5. The link (URL from your browser) can now be shared!
