Edit and Delete a Comment in an Issue in JIRA Tool

A user can edit his own comments. (The user should have, however, been granted the Edit Own Comments project permission for that.) In addition to that a user can also edit another person's comments (for that the user should have been granted the Edit All Comments project permission).

2. Click on the Edit icon, located on the comment.
   
   
   
   The Comment text-box will open again for editing.
   
   
   
    
3. Edit the comment's text inside the text-box as required.
4. Click on the Save button.
5. The word "edited" will be displayed to show that the comment has been edited. You can place your mouse over the word "edited" to see who edited the comment and when it was done.
