Edit Tweet

Also known as: Edit button

X Premium feature allowing edits to a posted tweet within 60 minutes of publishing.

In depth

Edit Tweet is a Premium-only feature that lets subscribers edit a tweet up to 5 times within 60 minutes of posting. The edit history is publicly viewable (anyone can see prior versions).

Use cases: fixing typos that would otherwise tank reach, correcting a wrong statistic, updating a broken link. Avoid using edits to substantively change a tweet's meaning — readers and the algorithm can see the edit history.
