Canny admins have full control over a Post, so you can manage and update as needed. This guide will walk you through:
- Editing a Post
- Deleting a Post
- Merging a Post
- Unmerging a Post
- Moving a Post to Another Canny Board

Deleting a Post
If you need to permanently remove a Post for whatever reason, you can use the "Delete Post" option:
Before you delete:
- This will delete the Post itself along with all Comments on a Post.
- This action cannot be undone, so be sure you want to permanently delete the Post.
- Deleting a Post will not notify the Post author.
- Consider marking the Post as "Closed" with a comment instead. This way, in case someone else makes the same request later on, they will be able to see it has already been submitted. Learn more
