Ability to Edit a Chatter Post after posting

Chatter & Files

Chatter User should be able to edit their post and comments after posting them to chatter. Currently users cannot do a correction in their post or comment after posting them, they have to delete the post and make correctoin and post it again, even for a minor correction. We should have a smarter way to do this in chatter by having an edit option next to delete post sign.

Quick update on this Idea: We have moved this Idea from being flagged as fully delivered to partially delivered based on feedback. While the ability to edit chatter posts came in Summer '15, it lacks the ability to edit chatter posts with links or files attached to it. This remaining functionality is targeted for delivery in our new Lightning experience over the next couple of releases (safe harbor), so we'll update the Idea as delivered at that time. Apologies for any confusion this may have caused.

Previous Update:
With the Summer '15 release, we are introducing the ability to edit feed posts and comments.

Please make this a priority!! If it's only in Lightning this is an issue for us since we use the Case Console. From what I understand, the console doesn't support Lightning, so just adding to Lightning is not a fix.

Will this be availible in "SalesForce Classic" as well?

If not can yall make it so... with all of the drawbacks to moving to SalesForce Lightining UI right now there will be quite a few who are not migrating for another year or so till some functionalities can be reengineered and such. Those of us which are in this boat would appreciate this functionality.

Thank you in advance.

Editing a chatter post is must have feature.

When using chatter as a problem-solving and documentation tool, we need the ability to prevent changes unless changes are visible as scorethrough or see previous version etc. as in files. This is important for business problem resoution as you can't change the 'facts' to recreate the past.

Hey Rhonda- here's what I heard back:

We are not enabling this by default for existing orgs - so admins would have the ability to opt in. Once opted in, there will be two different user profile perms for it.

Hope that helps! I'll post again once we have confirmation for Summer 15, and will provide the documentation in that case once it's available.

Previous Update:
We are actively working on this request and hope to have a solution available this summer (safe harbor applies). Initially the ability to edit a chatter post and/or chatter comments after posting will be available for our desktop and community experiences only.

@Kristie Garafola - Is it planned that Administrators will be able to control whether or not users are provided this option? For some customers, being able to edit posts/comments will not be desirable. How ability the ability to control who can/can't delete chatter posts/comments? I'm hoping that what is being worked on will provide full CRED control over Chatter.
