Only the comment’s own author may edit it. The Pealboard App can rewrite any comment in the repository, so this is enforced here rather than by GitHub: a member editing a colleague’s words is refused.

A public comment stays public, because the marker travels in the body Pealboard resends.

Access. Requires the member role or above (member, admin, owner). Editing a comment writes to the customer’s GitHub repository under their installation. API-key scope: issues:write.
