Editing text strings in Experience Builder (Q2 Config)

Q2 Config provides the ability to edit most of the strings included in your FI's environment. You can find the text you want to edit by searching for the current text or the key name.

Each string in the UI has a key name, which is a unique identifier used to pair the value you provide for the UI element to the UI code. You can find out the key value for the string you want to edit by adding ?noStrings=1 to your FI's URL in your browser after .aspx and before the pound sign (#) in your URL. This will display each key name in your browser instead of the string associated with the key name.

Limitations

There are certain strings that are stored in the logic for the UI and therefore cannot be edited by Q2 Config, including:

• Strings related to unsupported product add-ons (such as legacy product add-ons)
• Disclaimer text

To edit a string

1. Opening a draft you have created.
2. Select Text from the side menu.
   Tip: Within the search, selecting Text will search the value assigned to a key, but selecting Text string keys searches for a specific key name.
3. On the Text page, use the Search field to enter the text or key you want to change. 
   
   
   Note: Certain text strings are stored in a database instead of in the string file, and changes to these strings do not appear in your environment until the next day.
4. From the search results, select the Key name for the string you want to change. This opens the Edit a Text String dialog box.
   
   (Optional) Edit the string for each language. Each key has a separate string value for each language. Only the languages the FI has enabled for that environment will show as tabs.
6. Edit Current Active Text to the desired text, and select Save changes. You can also choose to revert to the default text and then save the change.
