After years of public pestering, Twitter has finally begun work on an edit button, the company announced this week.

The ability to alter existing tweets has long been the platform's most-requested feature, according to a vice-president, Jay Sullivan.

Protecting the integrity of that public conversation is our top priority when we approach this work," Sullivan wrote.
