Is there any way to have Discourse resend a post when it has been edited by the user to make corrections or changes?

Hi Andrew :slight_smile: What do you mean by “resend” a post?

I mean, say a user needs to correct a post and edits it. Then people who only use the email function of Discourse don’t see the corrected post, as I understand it. So I am asking is there a way to have the edited/updated post sent out again either automatically or by a manual process? Or a notificat…

I don’t believe this is possible and by design [이미지] Edited posts are not sent via email in mailing list mode Feature I think this is by design and not a bug. Mailing list mode already generates a huge number of emails, so not sending new emails for edits may …

[이미지] Andrew Bernard: people who only use the email function of Discourse This is a problem for those folks then if there are significant edits made to posts they will never see. If you have an official e-mail newsletter then you could publish important edits in that.

[이미지] Andrew Bernard: is there a way to have the edited/updated post sent out again either automatically or by a manual process? If it’s a critical error, the only workaround I can think of would be to have the user create a new post for the correction. If they do that, any users who are watc…

[이미지] anon65426961: in some circumstances it may be ideal to have records of all edit history. You can have some control over this via site settings, but if an edit history revision is not created, there is no way for an admin to view the changes. The settings are: editing grace period: Fo…

Oh ok, that is sophisticated how all that works. Solution then is to set edit grace to zero, this is safest.

It depends on your situation. Looking at the code now, there are a few things that will trigger a new revision to be created if a post is edited within the edit grace period: the post has been flagged the post is edited by another user (for example a staff member) an “edit reason” is supplied when…

Very impressive that, for a flagged post would be most important. I am sort of confused how it is possible that there is no edit history for a post if it has been published and is visible in other countries. With the grace edit system this allows edits to happen without publishing the history, and …
