# [Author Content] - Edit or Delete a Comment

This page explains how to edit or delete a comment you posted in a Contentstack entry. It is intended for Contentstack users who add comments to entries and need to revise or remove them during content review and collaboration.

## Edit or Delete a Comment

Managing comments in Contentstack allows users to maintain clear and relevant discussions. Whether you want to revise the content of a comment you added in your Contentstack entry or remove it entirely, Contentstack provides an intuitive way to make these changes.

**Note:** Only the user who posted the comment can edit or delete it.

To edit or delete a comment, log in to your [Contentstack account](https://www.contentstack.com/login/) and perform the following steps:

- Open an entry and click the “Comment” icon of the field where you want to update the comments.
- Hover over the comment you want to edit or delete, then click the "Edit" or "Delete" icon. After editing the comment, click **Update**.
