Swapping a post's content or link by editing

What triggers it
Editing a post that already has engagement so it shows substantially different content (a different message, swapped media), or editing its link so the destination page changes significantly.
What X says
“editing links (URLs) so that the final destination page has significantly changed, either in content or location (e.g. domain, URL path).”
How to fix it
Make only corrective edits. Publish new content or a new link as a new post.
Good to know
Fixing typos, adding context or correcting a broken link to the same page does not count.
