You can easily change the topic of a message by following the following steps.

|
|
|
1. Locate the message that you want edit. Hover over the message's timestamp on the right-hand side to reveal a star (), chevron (), and pencil () icon.

|
2. Click on the pencil () icon to begin editing your message. In the field labeled **Topic**, enter the new topic name for your message.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Once you begin typing in the **Topic** field, you will notice that a dropdown appears to the right of the **Topic** field with the **Change only this message topic** option selected by default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Click the dropdown to view all options for editing your message's topic.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **Change only this message topic**
|
|
|
|
This option only changes the topic of the message that you have selected.
|
|
|
|
You may want to select this option if you sent the message to the wrong topic.
|
|
|
|
* **Change later messages to this topic**
|
|
|
|
This option changes the topic of the selected message as well as the topic of any messages under the same topic that were sent after the selected message.
|
|
|
|
You may want to select this option if you feel that some messages have gone off-topic.
|
|
|
|
* **Change previous and following messages to this topic**
|
|
|
|
This option changes the topic of the selected message as well as any messages under the same topic that were sent before and after the selected message.
|
|
|
|
You may want to select this option to change the topic for all messages with the same topic.
|
|
|
|
5. After choosing the option you desire from the dropdown, click the blue **Save** button under the box containing the message's contents.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. After clicking **Save**, the topic of your edited message(s) will change, and the message(s) will be marked with **(EDITED)**, confirming the success of the topic change.
