Short answer

You can edit a comment only when you have comment-edit permission, the comment was added by you and it is the latest comment. If any of these conditions is not met, the existing comment cannot be changed.

Availability: Available in Free, Standard and Premium

Check the three conditions

  1. Confirm that your group has permission to modify comments. Go to Admin > Users > Permissions to review the setting.
  2. Confirm that the note was added by your account.
  3. Confirm that the note is the latest comment in the discussion.

Edit the comment

Open the target comment, choose the edit action and update the text. If the edit action is unavailable, review the three conditions again before asking an administrator to change permissions.

Note: The latest-comment restriction preserves the visible discussion history. Add a new note when an older comment needs clarification instead of rewriting it.
