Restrict message edit history access

This feature is only available to organization owners and administrators.

In Zulip, users who have the appropriate permissions can edit the content of a message they sent, or move messages to a different channel or topic.

Modified messages are tagged as edited or moved, with the edited indicator taking priority. You can view the history of how a message was edited and moved, if this is allowed in your organization.

You can remove the edit history of a single message by deleting it.

Restrict message edit history access

You can restrict message edit history access to only show moves, or disable it altogether.

  • Instructions for all platforms

  1. Go to Organization permissions.

  2. Under Message editing, configure Allow viewing the history of a message?.

  3. Click Save changes.
