Windsurf: Devin Forwarded Messages Now Show the Original Sender
WindsurfView original changelog
WindsurfWindsurf updated Devin so forwarded messages display the original sender, with a "Forwarded by / via" label. Readers can tell who wrote a message and who passed it along.
Key Takeaways
- Forwarded messages show the original sender, not just the person who forwarded them.
- A "Forwarded by / via" label records the forwarding path.
- The change preserves authorship when requests move between teammates.
- It makes sessions easier to audit after the fact.
- Readers no longer have to guess where a message came from.
- It is a small clarity improvement to message display in Devin.
Clearer Attribution on Forwarded Messages
Windsurf changed how Devin displays forwarded messages. A forwarded message now shows the original sender. It also carries a "Forwarded by / via" label that identifies who forwarded it and through what route.
What Changes for Users
Forwarded content used to lose its context. A reader could not easily tell where a message started. With the new label, the author and the forwarder are both visible. This matters when a request is passed between teammates or tools before it reaches a Devin session.
