# Change the topic of a message
You can easily change the topic of a message by following the following steps.
By default, any user can 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.
{!message-actions.md!} the pencil
(<i class="icon-vector-pencil"></i>) icon to begin editing your
message.
Organization administrators can
[turn off community topic editing](/help/community-topic-edits), 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.
2. In the field labeled **Topic**, enter the new topic name for your message.
{!message-actions.md!} down chevron (<i class="icon-vector-chevron-down"></i>).
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. Click the dropdown to view all options for editing
your message's topic.
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.
* **Change only this message topic**
2. Edit the topic.
This option only changes the topic of the message that you have selected.
3. 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.
!!! tip ""
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.
!!! tip ""
You may want to select this option if you feel that some of your
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.
!!! tip ""
You may want to select this option to change the topic for all
messages with the same topic.
5. After choosing your desired option from the dropdown, click the **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.
4. Click **Save**.
