+## Who can edit or delete verified content
+
+Editing or deleting a verified chart or dashboard requires the usual permission to edit or delete that content, plus **Edit or delete verified charts and dashboards** (`manage:VerifiedContent`). The original verifier can also change the content without that additional scope. Developers and admins receive the scope by default; a custom role can grant it to other users.
+
+Without that scope or the original-verifier exception, verified content is read-only. Permission to edit verified content is separate from permission to preserve or apply its verified badge when saving.
+
 ## What happens to verification when content is edited
 
 Verification is tied to the exact state of the content at the time it was verified, so editing a verified chart or dashboard puts its badge at risk. To make sure the badge never disappears silently, Lightdash shows a confirmation dialog whenever you save changes to verified content. What you can do in that dialog depends on whether you're allowed to preserve verification:
 
 - **If you can verify content** (you have verify permission, or you're the original verifier), you're offered the choice to keep the badge as part of saving. Choosing **Save & verify** re-approves the current version and keeps the badge (updating the verification timestamp to your save); choosing **Save** drops it.
-- **If you can't verify content** (for example, an editor saving a chart verified by someone else), saving removes the badge. You're warned first and can cancel, but you can't keep it — someone with verify permission then needs to review the updated version and re-verify it.
+- **If you can't verify content** (for example, a custom role that allows editing verified content but not verifying it), saving removes the badge. You're warned first and can cancel, but you can't keep it — someone with verify permission then needs to review the updated version and re-verify it.
 
 This guarantees a verified badge always reflects content that someone with verify permission has explicitly approved in its current form.
 
@@ -83,7 +89,7 @@ The confirmation dialog comes in two variants:
 - **If you can keep the badge** (verify permission or original verifier), you get a **Keep this verified after saving?** prompt with two options: **Save** drops the badge, and **Save & verify** keeps it and updates the verification timestamp to your save. Note there's no automatic retention — even the original verifier keeps the badge only by choosing **Save & verify**.
 - **If you cannot keep the badge**, you get a warning: *"Saving your changes will remove its verified status until someone verifies it again."* You can **Cancel** to back out, or **Save anyway** to save and drop the badge.
 
-For example, if an editor on your team edits the **Ecom sales overview** dashboard (verified by a developer), they'll see the warning and can decide whether to save and drop the badge or cancel and let the developer make the change instead.
