Discord Edited Message Logger
A Discord edited message logger catches the quiet edit — the message that said one thing when it was posted and something else a minute later. LoggerBot records the text before and after every edit, along with the author and the channel.
Edit logging sits alongside deleted-message logging in the message category, and covers threads as well as normal channels.

What LoggerBot logs
- Original text — the message content before the edit.
- New text — the message content after the edit.
- Author — who edited the message.
- Channel — where the message lives.
- Thread edits — edits inside threads are logged the same way as channel messages.
Why edit logs matter
Deletions are obvious; edits are not. Someone can post a link, wait for people to click, then edit it into something harmless — or edit an announcement after staff approved it. An edit log makes that visible.
LoggerBot keeps a short-term copy of recent messages so it can show the “before” text. Discord’s edit event only contains the new version.
Setting it up
- 1Enable the Edit Message log.
- 2Open the dashboard, pick your server, and set a main log channel — or run
/setlogallin Discord to create a channel per category automatically. See the getting-started guide. - 3Leave the category on the main channel, or point it at its own channel from Individual Log Config — the per-log setting always wins.
Frequently asked questions
Does the log show the full edit history or just the last change?
Each edit is logged as its own entry with the text immediately before and after that change, so a message edited several times produces several logs.
Are edits by the message author and by others both logged?
Only the author can edit their own message on Discord, so the edit log always attributes the change to the author.
Can LoggerBot log edits to messages sent before it joined?
It can log the edit event, but it may not have the original text if the message predates the bot or was sent while it was offline.
