1. Navigate to Copy editor in the Engage section of the main menu to your left-hand side.

2. Before entering characters into the search bar, select whether you are searching by name or key. We strongly recommend searching by name as this equals the text and will be the easiest for you to locate. 

Notice you can search in all the languages you have available in your Checkout.


Keep in mind that the minimum search length is 3 characters.

 

 

 

To provide an example, imagine you want to view or edit the title 'Ticket Selection' of the product list below:

Remember: the product names and descriptions can also be adjusted within the products themselves (e.g., I want to buy tickets).

 

3. Enter the name of the field you are looking to view or edit, in this case: 'Ticket Selection,' and hit Search or hit enter on your keyboard.

Now you see the copy text you are looking for, including its key and language.

4. Click on Edit to view all translations.


5. To edit either of your translations, click into the field and change the copy.

In the example above, we are editing the English translation. 

 

In case you want to discard your edits or want to go back to the previous version, all you need to do hit Reset to default.

6. In case you change a copy, make sure to go on and complete editing all translations accordingly before hitting save. 

Here as well, you can discard all edits and start new by hitting the Reset all to default at the top of the translations.


7. Hit Save & you're done!
