# Disable message edit history

{!admin-only.md!}

In Zulip, users can [view the edit history of a message](/help/view-a-messages-edit-history).

To remove the edit history of a single message, it is usually best to
[delete the message](edit-or-delete-a-message) entirely. However, you can
also disable viewing of message edit history more generally.
