# Edit a message
|
|
|
|
Zulip makes it possible to edit the content of your messages, letting you fix
|
|
typos, clarify your thoughts, etc. Organization administrators can
|
|
[configure](/help/restrict-message-editing-and-deletion) who can edit messages,
|
|
and set time limits for this action. However, even organization owners cannot
|
|
edit the content of a message sent by another user.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
You can also [edit message topics](/help/rename-a-topic).
|

When you edit a message, everyone will see it labeled as **edited**. You
|
|
can [view a message's edit history](/help/view-a-messages-edit-history)
|
|
if it is [allowed](/help/restrict-message-edit-history-access) in your
|
|
organization.
|
|
|
|
## Message notifications
|
|
|
|
If you edit a message to [mention a user or group](/help/mention-a-user-or-group),
|
|
the newly mentioned users will receive notifications just as if they had been
|
|
mentioned in the original message.
|
|
|
|
If you edit a message soon after sending it, the edit will be reflected in any
|
|
[email notifications that have not yet been sent](/help/email-notifications#configure-delay-for-message-notification-emails).
|
|
This includes canceling notifications for users whose
|
|
[mention](/help/format-your-message-using-markdown#mention-a-user-or-group) was
|
|
removed or changed from a regular mention to a
|
|
[silent mention](/help/mention-a-user-or-group#silently-mention-a-user).
|
|
|
|
If you [delete the content of a message](/help/delete-a-message#delete-message-content),
|
|
any pending email notifications for that message will be canceled, including
|
|
[mentions and alerts](/help/dm-mention-alert-notifications).
