# 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, Zulip's [permanent links to messages in
|
|
context](/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.
|
|
|
|
Organizations can [configure](/help/configure-who-can-edit-topics) which
|
|
[roles](/help/roles-and-permissions) have permission to rename topics. See the
|
|
[guide to message and topic editing](/help/configure-message-editing-and-deletion)
|
|
for the details on when topic editing is allowed.
|
|
|
|
## Rename a topic
|
|
|
|
### Via the message recipient bar
|
|
|

|
1. Click on the <i class="fa fa-pencil"></i> icon in the message recipient bar.
|
|
|
|
1. Edit the topic name.
|
|
|
|
1. Click the **✔** to save your changes.
|
|

|
|
### Via a message (alternate method)
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{!message-actions-menu.md!}
|
|
|
|
1. Select the first option. It may be called **View source / Move message**,

|
|
allowed to edit the topic of that message.
