# View a message's edit history

Users can view the edit history of any edited or moved message.

Messages with any content edits are labeled **EDITED**, while messages
that have only been [moved to a new
stream](/help/move-content-to-another-stream) or
[topic](/help/move-content-to-another-topic) are labeled **MOVED**.

Organization administrators can
[disable message edit history](/help/disable-message-edit-history).

## View a message's edit history
