# Rename a topic
|
|
|
|
By default, any user can rename any topic within a stream, and
|
|
organization administrators can additionally move topics from one
|
|
stream to another, or move a subset of messages to a topic from one
|
|
stream to another.
|
|
|
|
Organization administrators can
|
|
[turn off community topic editing](/help/community-topic-edits), 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.
|
|
