Edit sent files

Unactive
As well as we're able to edit the text content of a message, I think we should be able to modify the attachments (the files sent with the message, there can be multiple ones with mobile) of a message. Sometimes I would need to change the image I sent along a message, or simply delete it. I'd also like to be able to toggle the spoiler on it. This should apply to all attachments (videos, musics), not only images. Of course this would trigger the `(modified)` hint.

    Not sure if it was added in after this post, but I found a way to do this.

    1. Upload the new picture as a separate message.

    2. Right click on new picture and click Copy Link.

    3. On original post, click Edit and paste the link.

    4. Click the small x that appears next to the old picture to remove the preview.

    5. Delete the message you sent in Step 1.

    I just found out the hard way that this isn't a feature & it ruined the premise of half my server

    +1 to add a feature allowing discord users to edit their images attached as files (without having to delete the post, this way we can keep the time stamp & original place in the message history; sometime I need to crop an image or edit out sensitive information for example (after the fact)...

    This is a critical feature in my experience.  Can Discord please add it?  This is not a problem in Telegram by the way which I'm liking more and more given all the Discord limitations with file sizes and post editing I'm running into!

    I 100% agree

     

    I have my own pretty popular server and I make my own banners to go over certain channels.

    Example:

     

    If i find something like a cooler banner background or a cooler font, its really hard to update the banner when its over a giant reaction roles self roles channel loaded with people that have reacted with things.

    i recently made an artwork that was pretty popular but there was a thing that i had forgotten on it

    i had to link the edited image by editing my message

    having to have two images just to add one thing is pretty annoying, and since it was popular, i didnt want to delete it and remove all of the reactions and replies

    discord plz

    Thanks @KonManMoonCat
    Still no idea why this isn't a feature since as we see it is technically possible :)

    I just uploaded a wrong image in a channel that has a 30min cooldown per message. It was a poor quality one and I made a good quality one, too.

    Same here. I agree it should be a thing on Discord and I don't know why is it not.

    I find myself in need to replace an older version of a tool with a newer one in a message I sent on a Discord server where I have no admin privileges, but I can't do that without sending an entirely new message which is just not acceptable.

    I agree and it's already a feature in Telegram.
