After a Tweet has been edited, the post will sport an \u201cedited\u201d update next to the timestamp as well as show both the original error and the correction, per Wong\u2019s explainer. Meanwhile, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/wongmjane\/status\/1521215565691449349\">the old iteration of the tweet will bear a notification alerting<\/a> users that \u201cthere\u2019s a new version of this Tweet.\u201d In other words, you can say goodbye to the notion of covering up embarrassing online gaffes. <\/p>\n<p>However, Jay Sullivan, the company\u2019s VP of consumer products, claims that there\u2019s a good reason for committing mistakes to digital memory. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout things like time limits, controls, and transparency about what has been edited, Edit could be misused to alter the record of the public conversation,\u201d\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jaysullivan\/status\/1511457597768929285\">he tweeted earlier this month. <\/a>\u201cProtecting the integrity of that public conversation is our top priority when we approach this work.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"\/>\n<p>Despite its transparency, the interim edit button isn\u2019t without its downsides.
