About This Feature

Overview

Merge and Forward lets you combine multiple chat messages into one chat record card and send it to another contact or group, so the recipient can review the full context in one place.

Core tasks include:

Enter multi-select mode to switch from a single message to batch selection.
Merge and forward selected messages to a target conversation.
Check the forwarded result in the destination conversation.

This feature fits project updates, cross-group context sharing, and follow-up explanations. Compared with forwarding messages one by one, a merged chat record card keeps related messages together and is easier to review.

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports right-clicking a chat message to enter multi-select mode, selecting multiple messages, and using Merge and Forward to send them as one chat record card to another conversation.	Outlook supports selecting multiple emails and forwarding them in one new message, with the selected emails attached.	Gmail supports forwarding selected emails as attachments and can also forward a full thread in conversation view.	Notion supports page discussions, inline comments, and mentions for document collaboration.	Acrobat supports sharing PDFs for review and collecting comments around a document.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps multiple chat messages in one chat record card, so recipients can open one item and review the message sequence with context.	Compared with WPS: Outlook mainly forwards multiple items as email attachments rather than as an in-chat record card.	Compared with WPS: Gmail focuses on email attachments or thread forwarding, not a chat record card inside a conversation.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on page discussion and comments, not merged forwarding of chat messages.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat focuses on PDF review sharing, not merged forwarding of chat messages.

Overall Conclusion: If you need to forward several related chat messages together inside a conversation workflow, WPS is closer to that use case. The other products mainly cover email forwarding, page discussion, or document review, which are related but different collaboration patterns.
