Community topic edits

{!admin-only.md!}

By default, anyone can edit any message topic. This is useful because it allows the community to keep conversations organized, even if some members are still learning how to use topics effectively. Note that non-admin members cannot edit topic of a message after 3 days even if community topic editing is enabled.

Organization administrators can turn off community topic editing. Note that users may still be able to edit the topic of messages with (no topic); see the full article on message and topic editing for details.
