Hi,
On our forum, the admins would like to be able to “convert” an answer to a linked topic (to maintain discussion threads clean). I didn’t find anything that could match, neither on the actions available in Discourse nor in the already asked questions.
Does anybody knows if it is possible to tranform an answer into a linked topic ?

- Click the wrench icon on the right
- Click “`Select Posts`”
- Select all the posts you want to move to another topic
- Click “`Move to another topic`”
Is that what you want?

Thank you @zogstrip, this is exactly what I wanted !
(I haven’t got the “select” trick)
