# Move content to another topic
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default, any user can change the topic of any message. This is useful for
|
||
|
|
keeping messages organized even if some users are still learning how to use
|
||
|
|
topics effectively.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Organization administrators can
|
||
|
|
[configure who can edit topics](/help/configure-who-can-edit-topics), or turn off
|
||
|
|
message editing entirely. See the
|
||
|
|
[guide to message and topic editing](/help/configure-message-editing-and-deletion)
|
||
|
|
for the details on when topic editing is allowed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Move a message to another topic
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{!message-actions-menu.md!}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Select the first option. It may be called **View source / Edit topic**,
|
||
|
|
or simply **Edit**. If it's called **View source**, then you are not
|
||
|
|
allowed to edit the topic of that message.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Set the destination topic.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. A dropdown with three options will appear to the right:
|
||
|
|
**Change only this message topic**, **Change later messages to this topic**, and
|
||
|
|
**Change previous and following messages to this topic**. Pick the appropriate
|
||
|
|
option.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Click **Save**.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
||
|
|
|
