Twitter said Thursday it has begun actively testing an edit button, after
months of publicly discussing such a tweak.

The trial of "Edit Tweet" will begin with internal employees, then
be expanded out to the platform's "Twitter Blue" subscription
population, the company said.
"Edit Tweet is a feature that lets people make changes to their Tweet
after it's been published," the company said on its blog. "Think of
it as a short period of time to do things like fix typos, add missed tags, and
more."
Under the revision being studied, users could edit a tweet "a few
times" in the 30 minutes after the initial posting, in ways that
transparently note the changes to "help protect the integrity of the
conversation and create a publicly accessible record of what was said,"
the company said.
Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk, who is locked in a lawsuit with Twitter
over a potential acquisition of the micro-blogging platform, had backed an edit
button shortly before the company said in April it was studying the change.
Users of Twitter Blue -- the subscription offering now available in the
United States, Canada, Australia and New Zeeland-- "receive early access
to features and help us test them before they come to Twitter," the
company said.
An aim of the tweak is that "Tweeting will feel more approachable and
less stressful, Twitter said. "You should be able to participate in the
conversation in a way that makes sense to you, and we’ll keep working on ways
that make it feel effortless to do just that."
However, a Twitter spokesperson said the test will not necessarily be
employed universally on the platform.
