I would like to remove the “(edited)” label which appears when a post is edited (everyone on my team really doesn’t like it…). Does anyone know how to do this?

Simplest way would probably to modify this method(untested):

[https://github.com/mattermost/platform/blob/master/webapp/components/post\_view/components/post\_message\_view.jsx#L76](https://github.com/mattermost/platform/blob/master/webapp/components/post_view/components/post_message_view.jsx#L76)

Into:

```auto
renderEditedIndicator() {
        return null;
}

```

You would have to compile it from the sources.

If you don’t want or can’t compile from sources, you can adventure your self with the .js/.js.map files to find that and modify it there but it would be a lot more work, specially opening the files as they are huge.

UPDATE:

I tried editing the source code and compiling, but I kept running into errors, so I ended up editing the “main.09a5a5a3fcdf41cf4c08.js” file and simply changed the opacity to 0 (good enough for now) in the following place:

> ```
> .post-edited-indicator{filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=0);opacity:.0;font-size:.87em}.post
> 
> ```

Thanks again for the help 🙂
