Can't we edit our posts anymore?

Is there still an option to edit our posts? I know it was there at some point, but no I don’t see it anymore.

    Hi ​@Michael_Florin-2 ​@Dave_Roberts Sorry for missing this. Your presumption is correct - users are able to edit their posts up to 60 minutes after they publish. After this period, only an administrator or specially permissioned user is able to edit. 

     

    We do this to prevent potential losses of context and continuity in a post. It is a thread-integrity safeguard to ensure that both topics and replies retain their original context. If you have a specific thread or reply outside of the 60-minute window that you’d like me to edit for you, please let me know and I’ll be happy to help.

    Looks like it’s missing on my end too...

    … or maybe there is some kind of time limit on editing your post? Right after I sent the post above I tried the three-dot menu and Edit shows up as a choice?!? 

    @jon_chen It’d be great to be able to come back and edit older posts (no time limit) with updates as things change into the future b/c what worked yesterday doesn’t always work tomorrow and it’ll help keep information current as time roles on.

    I know just the person to talk to, hold on a bit. (I’m at Summit.)

    Not for me.

     


    @Dave_Roberts You have the option to quote your own post?

    You might have an admin privilege. I don’t see “Edit”.

    @Michael_Florin-2  -- it looks like I can Quote my own post from a week ago but I don’t see the Edit function for older posts. My guess is that there is some kind of time window from the time you post it that you can still edit your posts.

    … Just double-checked and I am able to see the “Edit” option on the post I just posted above.
