Bring back per-message Copy in Agent Chat! (New UI)

In the new UI, I don’t see a copy button on individual assistant messages anymore. If I want to reuse a specific response (instructions, summary, draft post, etc.), I have to manually select text or copy much larger portions of the conversation.

Why this matters

  • I frequently move agent output into docs and debugging tools.

  • Long conversations often contain multiple turns, tool output, and code changes.

  • Per-message copy was a simple but very useful workflow.

Requested improvement

  • Add a “Copy this response” action to every assistant message.

  • Ideally support user messages too.

  • Keep Copy All as a separate option, not a replacement.

Anyone else missing copy message button? :frowning:

indeed! I just had the same thought haha, will upvote the feature request

Hey, thanks for the feature request. Copy for individual messages in the new UI wasn’t fully removed, it’s just hidden in the trailing menu ⋯ More actions on each assistant response. There’s a Copy Message option there. The issue is the icon is pretty subtle right now, so it’s hard to notice.

A separate, more visible Copy this response button right on the message is a known and popular request. It’s been raised on the forum multiple times, for example here Add a dedicated “Copy” button to chat messages and here Simple task: How to copy a message?. We’ll add this thread as another signal in favor of the feature. I can’t share an ETA for a better option yet.

If you notice that copying via ⋯ only copies part of the response instead of the whole thing, let us know. That’s also on our radar.
