Hey folks 🙂

I’ve been trying to work out how to edit the required fields and descriptions for when a new user signs up. Right now I can only see that I can add my own custom fields.

**Is it possible to edit the fields and descriptions that exist by default? I’d specifically like to edit the description under the Email field.**

Thanks so much for any advice here!

With Discourse, you can easily edit _any_ text you see in the interface ☀

Go to Admin, Customize, Text Content, simply search for the text…
