View a message's edit history

In Zulip, users who have the appropriate permissions can edit the content of a message they sent, or move messages to a different channel or topic.

Modified messages are tagged as edited or moved, with the edited indicator taking priority. You can view the history of how a message was edited and moved, if this is allowed in your organization.
