# Quote a previous message

Inside a thread, within a forum, it is often most practical to be able to quote a whole or part of a message. This is the aim of this operation, triggered by the double quote icon. The ![](/files/-LioWOc8rBJfmN6Vwo-w) answer will be accompanied by the related message to which it is making reference (it will appear in another color in your answer). You can compose a comment etc. as well as edit the quoted text directly.
