# Require topics in stream messages
Administrators can configure whether stream messages must have a
specified topic.
## Require topics in stream messages
{!admin-only.md!}
By default, users are not required to specify a topic in stream messages; if
a user sends a message without a topic, the message's topic is displayed as
**(no topic)**.
If [message editing](/help/configure-message-editing-and-deletion) is
enabled, any other user can then edit the topic of messages without a
topic to set a topic, regardless of the value of the [topic editing
policy](/help/configure-who-can-edit-topics).
You can instead choose to require a topic for new stream messages.
### Require topics in stream messages
{start_tabs}
{settings_tab|organization-settings}
2. Under **Message feed**, select **Require topics in messages to streams**.
1. Under **Other settings**, toggle
**Require topics in streams messages**.

## Stream messages without a topic
If a user sends a message without a topic, the message's topic is
displayed as **(no topic)**.
When [message editing](/help/configure-message-editing-and-deletion)
is enabled, any user can [add a topic](/help/rename-a-topic)
to messages without a topic. They can do so regardless of whether
they can [edit topics in general](/help/configure-who-can-edit-topics).

# View a message's edit history
By default, users can view the edit history of any edited message. Edited
messages have `EDITED` written in gray either above or to the left of the
message.
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
