# 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](/help/move-content-to-another-stream#move-a-topic-to-another-stream)
|
|
from one stream to another, or
|
|
[move a subset of messages](/help/move-content-to-another-stream#move-messages-in-a-topic-to-another-stream)
|
|
to a topic from one stream to another.
|
|
|
|
Organization administrators can also
|
|
[configure who can edit topics](/help/configure-who-can-edit-topics),
|
|
[move topics](/help/configure-message-editing-and-deletion#configure-who-can-move-topics-between-streams),
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{!message-actions-menu.md!}
|
|
|
|
1. Select the first option. It may be called **View source / Edit topic**,
|
|
or simply **Edit**. If it's called **View source**, then you are not
|
|
allowed to edit the topic of that message.
|
|
|
|
1. Edit the topic.
|
|
|
|
1. A dropdown with three options will appear to the right:
|
|
**Change only this message topic**, **Change later messages to this topic**, and
|
|
**Change previous and following messages to this topic**. Pick the appropriate
|
|
option.
|
|
|
|
1. Click **Save**.
|
