Did you just misspell something in a Yelp review or say something you shouldn't have said that you wish were removed? We all have had times when this has happened, and almost every text-based program has a feature where you can edit the text. This article can tell you how to make these edits on Yelp.

Steps

1
Know that only you can edit any review you leave for a business. Unlike wikiHow which allows any editor to edit an article, you can only edit your review and you are not able to edit other reviews.
2
Determine what needs to be edited. Plan what edits you want to make before making any changes on the review. Maybe it's a misspelling, or maybe it's removing a personal reference to something that could be incorrect about the company.

3
Open your web browser once again, to the Yelp webpage.
4
Click the "About Me" tab, from the Yelp home page. From this page, you'll see your reviews.
5
Scroll down until you've found the review you'd like to edit.
6
Look for two link buttons (Edit and Remove). They are located slightly underneath the review and posted over on the right hand side of the page.
7
Click the Edit link. This will take you to the review you'd like to edit from the area dedicated to managing your reviews (which contains two buttons). The links can be found directly underneath your review towards the left hand size of each item. The two links are titled "Edit" and "Remove".
8
Make as many edits as you need to all at once. Spellcheck, grammar check, and do whatever it takes to make that review better.
9
Click the "Post" after your edit is complete.
10
Go back to the original "About Me" page. Repeat all steps you've previously followed.
11
Scroll down to the bottom of the page. Click the white button (with red lettering) that says "More", if the review is not found on this page.
- As you roll through page after page, the more visualized buttons will turn into "More" hyperlink (non-visualized links. Click "Next" to advance to the next page. If you need to back up a page, at the top and bottom of each part of the page, you'll also find a hyperlink marked "Previous". Click this button to go to the previous listing of reviews you've written.

Warnings

On occasion, you'll come across a business that has closed. They are marked as "CLOSED" by Yelp moderators right on the top-level location page. On this page, you'll find no other reviews. A major rule as a Yelp member, is not to re-review these closed businesses.
