Heard: editing a post resets some signals, not all

Heard: editing a post resets some signals, not all

Rumored — editing within the edit window can re-trigger a light distribution test, but the post carries its prior engagement baseline, so a weak start isn't fully erased by an edit.

Confirmed — edited posts are flagged as edited and retain their history.

What it means for your reach
— Fixing a typo won't resurrect a flopped post.
— Editing to add a strong hook early can help marginally, not magically.
— Hits people who think the edit button is a do-over for distribution.
