How To Change The Text Of Links, Buttons, And Labels (Phrases)
Do the links, buttons and labels on your community not match your branding? Use our ‘Phrases’ tool to change certain text into something that resonates.
A phrase is customizable text on your community platform. For example, if you wanted to change the “Log in” button to say “Lets go!” you would be changing the phrase. All phrases have a default setting, but almost all language on the platform can be changed.
Usually, you can change text strings right on the community with our live edit too; however, some phrases need to be changed manually on the back end. For this, you can reference the articles below:
