Hi there, wanted to change a policy text. Found the text in "site texts’, deleted the top text that was not necessary, then saved. Text turned from white to yellow, however nothing changed when I accessed the page. What did I missed? Thanks!

Hi noid,

I’m not sure I’m fully following. Are you on about the [Discourse Policy](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-policy/88557) plugin?

Not the plugin but an edit in “site texts”. See attached.
