Description

When you edit a message topic in mobile, it only moves the one message. On web, we give three options:

  • Change later messages to this topic
  • Change only this message topic
  • Change previous and following messages to this topic

We should offer these options. Probably the best UI for this is to just pop up a modal when the user clicks the checkmark button to submit the edit, since I think it's likely to be too crowded elsewhere. (That'll also make sure that the edit of the topic wasn't inadvertent)

Contributor guide

Research direction
