About This Feature
Overview
Merge Favorites is a message-organizing feature in WPS collaboration chat on macOS. It helps you select multiple messages and save them together as one favorite entry, so important conversations are easier to revisit.
Core tasks include:
- Enter multi-select mode to choose several messages in one session.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports entering multi-select mode in chat, selecting multiple messages, and using Merge Favorites to save them as one favorite entry for centralized review. | Microsoft Teams supports saving individual chat or channel messages to a Saved list for later review, but the official page does not describe merging multiple messages into one saved item. | Google Chat supports pinning messages, files, and links to the Board for quick access, but the official page does not describe merging multiple messages into one saved record. | Notion supports adding pages to Favorites for faster sidebar access, but the official page does not describe multi-select merging for chat messages. | Adobe Acrobat lets users review and copy full AI Assistant chat history in a PDF workflow, but it is not positioned as a chat-message merge-and-favorite feature. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: You can select multiple chat messages and merge them into one favorite entry in a direct workflow. Distinct: The saved result is better suited to organizing a continuous conversation thread. | Compared with WPS: focuses on saving messages one by one, without an official workflow for merging several messages into one saved favorite. | Compared with WPS: focuses on pinning individual resources to a Board instead of combining several messages into one favorite entry. | Compared with WPS: Favorites are designed for page navigation rather than chat-message consolidation. | Compared with WPS: the feature centers on PDF AI conversation history rather than chat-message collection inside a collaboration thread. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to organize several chat messages into one saved reference point, WPS provides a more direct path. The other products mainly focus on single-message saving, pinned resources, page favorites, or PDF chat history, which serve different use cases.
