Tip of the Week: Editing the subject line of replies and forwards

29 July 2016

One of the most frequent questions we’ve gotten so far is “How do I edit the subject line of a reply or forward?” It seems to be one of the best hidden features of the Gmail interface! Here’s how you do it:

  1. Start your reply or forwarded message.
  2. There will be an arrow at the top left of the address area, near your picture. Click that and you’ll get a menu that includes “Edit Subject.”
    EditSubject
  3. Edit the subject line however you wish!
