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.
When a topic is renamed, Zulip's permanent links to messages in context will automatically redirect to the new location of the message. Muted topics are automatically migrated when a topic is renamed.
Organizations can configure which roles have permission to rename topics.
