# Rename a topic
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Zulip makes it possible to rename topics. This is useful for keeping messages
 | 
						|
organized, even if some users are still learning how to use topics effectively.
 | 
						|
You can also [move content to another
 | 
						|
topic](/help/move-content-to-another-topic).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When a topic is renamed, links [to the
 | 
						|
topic](/help/link-to-a-message-or-conversation#get-a-link-to-a-specific-topic)
 | 
						|
and [to messages in that
 | 
						|
topic](/help/link-to-a-message-or-conversation#get-a-link-to-a-specific-message)
 | 
						|
will automatically redirect to the new location of the message. [Muted
 | 
						|
topics](/help/mute-a-topic) are automatically migrated when a topic is renamed.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Organization administrators can [configure](/help/restrict-moving-messages) who
 | 
						|
is allowed to rename topics.
 | 
						|
