+
+From Mattermost v7.2, using a web browser or the desktop app, you can forward messages in public channels to other public channels. From Mattermost v7.5, you can also forward messages from bots and webhooks.
+
+<Note>
+
+Private channels, direct messages, and group messages intended for specific people can't be forwarded.
+
+</Note>
+
+To forward a message:
+
+1.  Select the **More** <img src={useBaseUrl('/img/ui/dots-horizontal_F01D8.svg')} alt="Use the More icon to access additional message options." className="theme-icon" /> icon next to a message, then select **Forward**.

+
+2.  Specify where you want to forward the message, and include an optional comment.
+
+Forwarding a message also generates a preview of the message.
+
+![Mattermost generates previews of links shared in Channels.](/images/permalink-previews.png)
+
+<Note>
+
+Previews respect channel membership permissions, so they’re only visible to users who have access to the original message. If the link is to a message in a public channel, any member of the team can see the message preview. If the link is to a message in a private channel or direct message, only members in that channel can see the message preview.
