Rename a topic
By default, any user can rename any topic within a stream, and change the topic of any message. This is useful for keeping messages organized even if some users are still learning how to use topics effectively.
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 also configure who can edit topics, move topics, or turn off message editing entirely. See the guide to message and topic editing for the details on when topic editing is allowed.
