# Set Commit Properties

This option is launched from the History View via the Set Commit Properties option in the revision table context menu.

## Overview

Commit messages are stored in the SVN repository as properties attached to each revision. By default, the message property (svn:log) cannot be edited once it is committed. The Set Commit Properties function is enabled through the pre-revprop-change hook, which has access to the old log message before it is changed. If this hook is not enabled for your repository, this function will not work.

## Process

The revision number for the commit properties being edited is displayed in the the dialog title. Simply re-type or ammend the comment associated with the revision. The author of the revision can also be changed. Click OK to complete the change.
