[Documentation index](../llms.txt)

Use this method to edit animation, audio, document, live photo, photo, or video messages, or to replace a text or a rich message with a media. If a message is part of a message album, then it can be edited only to an audio for audio albums, only to a document for document albums and to a photo, a live photo, or a video otherwise. When an inline message is edited, a new file can't be uploaded; use a previously uploaded file via its file\_id or specify a URL. On success, if the edited message is not an inline message, the edited [Message](message.md) is returned, otherwise *True* is returned. Note that business messages that were not sent by the bot and do not contain an inline keyboard can only be edited within **48 hours** from the time they were sent.
