Hello, I am trying to find a way to change the text “Reply Privately” to a custom CTA. I cannot locate it in the Text Content customizer. Is this text not customizable?

The button in your screenshot is already using custom text specific to PMs. This was not done with Text Content customizations. It was altered via a theme component and will need to be changed there.

For reference, this is how it was done:
