ReactionBot Documentation
Edit Logs
Record when members edit their messages and view exactly what changed.
Edit Logs records when a member edits a message. ReactionBot displays both the original content and the updated content, making it easy for moderators to review changes.
What Edit Logs Records
ReactionBot creates a log entry whenever a monitored message is edited.
Each log includes the author, the channel, the original message, the updated message, and a jump link to the edited message whenever Discord still provides it.
Why Edit Logs Are Useful
Moderators can quickly identify users who substantially change messages after they've been read.
Edit Logs are especially useful in support channels, marketplace listings, applications, and moderation discussions where message history matters.

Limitations
Discord only notifies ReactionBot when a message changes while the bot is online.
Very large messages or embeds may be shortened by Discord.
Some message components cannot always be reconstructed exactly as they originally appeared.
Required Permissions
ReactionBot requires View Channels, Read Message History, Send Messages, and Embed Links.
The bot must also be able to view both the edited channel and the configured logger channel.
Troubleshooting
If edited messages are not appearing, verify that Edit Logs are enabled in the dashboard.
Confirm that the selected logger channel still exists and that ReactionBot has permission to post there.
Run /diagnose if you suspect a permission issue.
