# Link to a message or conversation
|
|
|
|
Zulip makes it easy to share links to messages, topics, and streams. You can
|
|
link from one Zulip conversation to another, or share links to Zulip conversations
|
|
in issue trackers, emails, or other external tools.
|
|
|
|
## Link to a stream or topic within Zulip
|
|
|
|
Zulip automatically creates links to streams and topics in messages you send.
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to link to a stream or topic is:
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
1. Type `#` followed by the one or more letters of the stream name.
|
|
|
|
2. Choose the desired stream from the auto-complete menu. The link will be
|
|
automatically formatted for you.
|
|
|
|
3. If linking to a topic, type `>` after selecting a stream as described above,
|
|
followed by one or more letters of the topic name.
|
|
|
|
4. Choose the desired topic from the auto-complete menu. The link will be
|
|
automatically formatted for you.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, it is possible to manually format stream and topic links:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Stream: #**stream name**
|
|
Topic: #**stream name>topic name**
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Link to Zulip from anywhere
|
|
|
|
All URLs in Zulip are designed to be shareable.
|
|
Copying the URL from the browser's address bar will work
|
|
for all views, including searches.
|
|
### Get a link to a specific message
|
|
|
|
This copies to your clipboard a permanent link to the message,
|
|
displayed in its thread (i.e. topic view for messages in a stream).
|
|
Viewing a topic via a message link will never mark messages as read.
|
|
|
|
These links will still work even when the message is
|
|
[moved to another topic](/help/move-content-to-another-topic)
|
|
or [stream](/help/move-content-to-another-stream) or
|
|
if its [topic is resolved](/help/resolve-a-topic).
|
|
|
|
Zulip uses the same permanent link syntax when [quoting a
|
|
message](/help/quote-and-reply).
