Quick summary
Quoting a message in Slack works by copying a message link and pasting it into another channel or DM, which surfaces the original message as a preview. This method lets teams reference and share context from any conversation without leaving Slack.
Steps
- Select the message in your Slack conversation that you want to reference, then click the three vertical dots (more actions menu).
- Choose the Copy link option from the drop-down menu to copy the message's direct URL.
- Navigate to the channel or DM where you want to share the quoted message.
- Paste the link into the message field and hit Enter to send it and display the message preview.
