# Community post and comment editing

Community post and comment editing

In this guide, we'll walk you through the editing options available for posts, comments, and replies in your Kourses community.

Let's get started!

## **Understanding Edited Tags**

When you see an **Edited** tag on a post or comment:

-   **Edited** — means the member edited their own content.
    
-   **Edited by an Administrator** — means an admin has edited that member’s content.
    

You’ll also spot an **eye (i) icon** next to admin edits.  
Hovering over it will show the **reason** why the edit was made.

## **Editing Content as an Administrator**

Admins have special permissions:

-   You can **edit any post, comment, or reply** within the community.
    
-   After editing, you can (and should!) **add a reason** for the edit.
    
-   The platform will display **"Edited by an Administrator"** plus an **info icon** with the reason provided.
    

> **Pro Tip:** Always give a reason when editing a member’s content!  
> It helps maintain transparency and builds trust within your community.

### **How to Edit a Member's Post**

1.  Navigate to the post you want to edit.
    
2.  Click the **three dots** icon (`...`) on the post.
    
3.  Select **Edit**.
    
4.  Make your changes.
    
5.  Add a **reason** for the edit (e.g., "Post broke community rules").
    
6.  Save your changes.
    

The post will now show:

-   A label: **Edited by an Administrator**
    
-   An **info icon** with your reason.
    

### **How to Edit a Comment or Reply**

You can also edit comments and replies the same way:

1.  Find the comment you want to edit.
    
2.  Click the **three dots** next to it.
    
3.  Choose **Edit**.
    
4.  Update the content and **optionally add a reason**.
    
5.  Save your changes.
    

## **Editing Your Own Content as a Member**

Members can edit their **own posts, comments, and replies** at any time.

-   When they do, the content will show a simple **Edited** tag — without the admin label.
    

## **Quick Recap**

-   **Admins** can edit _any_ content and should give a **reason**.
    
-   **Members** can edit _their own_ content without needing to give a reason.
    
-   Edited content is **clearly labeled** for transparency.
    
-   **Transparency** strengthens trust and the integrity of your community.
