About This Feature

Overview

Merge and Forward is a message-organizing and forwarding feature in WPS collaboration chat on macOS. It helps you package multiple chat messages into one shareable chat record card instead of forwarding messages one by one.

Its main capabilities include:

Entering multi-select mode to choose several messages in one pass.
Merging and forwarding selected messages as one chat record card.
Checking the forwarded result in the target conversation and opening the card to review message details.

This feature is useful for project updates, key-message summaries in group chats, and cross-team communication. It helps keep message context together while reducing repeated forwarding steps.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In chat, you can right-click a message to enter multi-select mode, choose multiple messages, and use Merge and Forward to send them as one chat record card that recipients can open for message-level details.	Microsoft Teams lets you forward chat messages to a person, group chat, or channel. It supports forwarding up to five messages at a time and bundles them into one forwarded message while keeping the original order.	Google Chat lets you forward a single message to another person or space and optionally add your own note before sending. The official help page does not describe merged forwarding for multiple messages.	Notion Mail focuses on Gmail inbox management, views, and email workflows. Its official help page does not describe a native chat-message merge-and-forward workflow.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on sharing PDFs for review and collecting comments through a shared link. Its official guidance is centered on document collaboration rather than merged chat-message forwarding.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS can organize multiple chat messages directly inside a conversation and send them as one chat record card. Distinct: recipients can open the card to review the message sequence and context in one place.	Compared with WPS: Teams also supports forwarding multiple items together, but the official page sets a limit of five messages and describes a bundled forwarded message rather than a chat record card.	Compared with WPS: the official workflow focuses on forwarding one message at a time and does not describe merged multi-message packaging.	Compared with WPS: the official workflow is built around email organization and Gmail handling, not merged forwarding of chat records.	Compared with WPS: the official workflow is for PDF review sharing, not for forwarding grouped chat messages inside a conversation.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to collect several chat messages and share them as one organized item, WPS Merge and Forward is closer to that communication workflow. Microsoft Teams also supports multi-message forwarding but with a stated quantity limit, while Google, Notion, and Adobe describe single-message forwarding, email management, or document-sharing workflows instead.
