Mass Edit/Change/Apply Hashtags to Existing Topics/Messages
|
Is there a way to edit, change, or apply hashtags to an existing topic or set of messages?
In a group for which I am an owner, we chose a set of hashtags to describe a regular topic, and this turns out to have been a poor choice. The exact example is for our monthly meetings, which we originally taged as #Monthly #Meeting. It would be far simpler for the members to understand if the hashtag was #MonthlyMeeting instead. I would like to change the hashtags from #Monthly Meeting to #MonthlyMeeting, or at least add #MonthlyMeeting to the existing topics and messages. I've searched the owner's manual and searching this forum and have not found a solution. I know I can edit the name of the hashtag, but this does not change the hashtags used in the message subject.? |

Click "edit tag" on the #Monthly hashtag and change it to #MonthlyMeeting. Depending on usage you can then delete the #Meeting hashtag. I would like to change the hashtags from #Monthly Meeting to #MonthlyMeeting, or at least add #MonthlyMeeting to the existing topics and messages.Editing the hashtag should serve to change the hashtag on all affected topics. I've searched the owner's manual and searching this forum and have not found a solution. I know I can edit the name of the hashtag, but this does not change the hashtags used in the message subject.?If the remaining subject line is misleading (e.g.: if the?entire subject line?was #Monthly #Meeting) you will have to edit that separately in Topic Properties (button at the top of each topic). This cannot be done en masse. Hope this helps, Bruce Check out the groups.io Help Center?and?groups.io Owners Manual |
