When posting a new topic in Google Groups, I made a few misleading typos that I wanted to correct, but I couldn't find a way to edit the post. Is it possible to edit a post in Google Groups (in case I need to correct something in the post?)

If you are the owner of the group then do the following:
You need to go to Manage → Permission → Moderation permission. There change the Edit other's post and Own Post. Save.
If you are not the owner, ask the owner to enable edits by following the steps above.

1Without the moderation permission looks like the only option we have is to delete the old post and re-create it..– ccpizzaNov 7, 2015 at 11:28
Once the message is posted it cannot be edited. https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/gmail-generation/7W51BDOBWIg

Also, I think I've found an exception to this limitation - it appears that it's possible to edit posts in the Chromebook Central group. groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/chromebook-central/aSv3WovEigk Nov 13, 2012 at 18:30

(Desktop in 2018) When viewing the post, in the upper right corner is a Reply button with a pull-down arrow for More Message Options.
Note: You'll see this option only if you are among the Select Groups Of Users allowed to Edit Others' Posts in Moderation Permissions (see a previous answer above for how to change that).
Pull down More Message Options and choose Edit.
You'll see a text link to Edit Subject.
Yes you can I 've just done it. Go in your first text of the thread. click arrow on top right corner of the message: edit. there you can edit subject. and the whole thread subject changes!!. Must say I am owner and the one who started the thread.
My experience in 2017 is that the only the person that wrote a Post can Edit it.

Dude, that's basic. Don't you think that other people shouldn't be able to edit your own posts? Oct 10, 2017 at 4:27

1No. Even if I'm the post creater, I cannot edit the post for some unknown reason. That's really embarrassing.– zwcloudJan 15, 2018 at 2:39
