## Link to Zulip from anywhere

All URLs in Zulip are designed to be shareable. Copying the URL from

the browser's address bar will work for all views, including searches.
|
||||
All URLs in Zulip are designed to be **shareable**, including:
|
||||
|
||||
- Links to messages, topics, and channels.
|
||||
- Search URLs, though note that personal
|
||||
[filters](/help/search-for-messages#search-filters) (e.g., `is:followed`) will
|
||||
be applied according to the user who's viewing the URL.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, links to messages, topics, and channels are **permanent**:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Message links](#get-a-link-to-a-specific-message) will still work even when
|
||||
the message is [moved to another topic](/help/move-content-to-another-topic)
|
||||
or [channel](/help/move-content-to-another-channel), or if its [topic is
|
||||
resolved](/help/resolve-a-topic). Zulip uses the same permanent link syntax
|
||||
when [quoting a message](/help/quote-or-forward-a-message).
|
||||
|
||||
- [Topic links](#get-a-link-to-a-specific-topic) will still work even when the
|
||||
topic is [renamed](/help/rename-a-topic), [moved to another
|

channel](/help/move-content-to-another-channel), or
|

[resolved](/help/resolve-a-topic).

!!! tip ""
|
||||
|
||||
When some messages are [moved out of a
|
||||
topic](/help/move-content-to-another-topic) and others are left in place,
|
||||
links to that topic will follow the location of the message whose ID is
|
||||
encoded in the topic URL (usually the first or last message in the topic).
|
||||
|
||||
- [Channel links](#get-a-link-to-a-specific-channel) will still work even when a
|
||||
channel is [renamed](/help/rename-a-channel) or
|
||||
[archived](/help/archive-a-channel).

### Get a link to a specific message
|
||||
|
||||
This copies to your clipboard a permanent link to the message,
|
||||
displayed in its thread (i.e. topic view for messages in a channel).
|
||||
Viewing a topic via a message link will never mark messages as read.
|
||||
|
||||
These links will still work even when the message is [moved to another
|
||||
topic](/help/move-content-to-another-topic) or
|
||||
[channel](/help/move-content-to-another-channel), or if its [topic is
|
||||
resolved](/help/resolve-a-topic). Zulip uses the same permanent link syntax when
|
||||
[quoting a message](/help/quote-or-forward-a-message).
|
||||
This copies to your clipboard a permanent link to the message, displayed in the
|
||||
context of its conversation. To preserve your reading status, messages won't be
|
||||
automatically marked as read when you view a conversation via a message link.
|
||||
|
||||
When you paste a message link into the compose box, it gets automatically
|

formatted to be easy to read:
