# Editing or deleting a message

## Edit a message 

Move your mouse over the message concerned, and a "more actions" button will appear on the right in the form of 3 small dots: click on it and then on `Edit`. 

This grants you back access to your message in the text editor. You can now edit it and send it back using the arrow button at the bottom right of the editor. 

{% hint style="info" %}
If you finally decide not to make any changes to your message, exit the text editor by clicking on the Cancel button at the bottom right. 
{% endhint %}

After editing your message, it will be displayed as (modified), but the modification history (your previous message) will not be visible to anyone.
