# Disable message history history
# Disable message edit history
{!admin-only.md!}
Editing of messages is great for correcting typos, clarifying
language, etc. However, sometimes a message is edited significantly
after others users replied to it, in a way that makes those original
replies no longer make sense. For this reason, Zulip displays
messages that have been edited with an EDITED tag, and users can
[view the edit history of a message](/help/view-a-messages-edit-history)
to easily understand what happened.
By default, Zulip displays messages that have been edited with an EDITED tag, and users
can [view the edit history of a message](/help/view-a-messages-edit-history).
If in your organization, you'd prefer that users not have access to
message edit history, you can disable message edit history for your
organization using the following steps:
To remove the edit history of a single message, it is usually best to
[delete the message](edit-or-delete-a-message) entirely. However, you can
also disable viewing of message edit history more generally.
1. Go to the [Organization settings](/#organization/settings)
{!admin.md!}
{settings_tab|organization-settings}
2. Disable the the **Enable message edit history** checkbox under the
**Message editing** section.
2. Under **Message editing**, uncheck **Enable message edit history**.
