Where can I edit the message shown to users after signup? The one beginning “You’re almost done! We sent an activation mail to …“. I couldn’t find it in the admin section. Do I need to edit a source file? ---

You can edit that message in the Admin/Customize/Text Content section. The template is called `login.activate_email`. You can find the template either by entering `login.activate_email` in the search box on the Text Content page, or by entering the text “You’re almost done! We sent an activation mail to” into the search box. ---

That is where I expected to find the text, but it’s not there. There are only four texts. Here’s a screenshot. These are all the texts under Admin/Customize/Text Content: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/5/b/5b8f0dd2fee1769742455a1c6eb9ef6ca9782b9f.jpeg) (This is a new installation from 3 days ago on DO) ---

There should be a search box above the 4 featured text options, search whatever @simon stated ---

Thanks, it showed up in the search. Why is that text content not listed and only appear when you search? ---

Discourse recommends those 4 featured text options because, it involves changing text regarding your site name, new user welcome texts, descriptions on why your community is private as well as first reply/topic descriptions for new users. I believe those 4 text options are there because they are the most important regarding your community, since most admins refer to those anyways, whereas others may stay on their default text. ---
