Changing the 'Post an idea' button text

In every challenge, users will see the 'Post an idea' button, the button that they click to post an idea for that challenge.

You can change the color of any buttons in your community by changing the design colors (for more information, see our guide to customizing colors in your community), but you can also change the text that is on this button.

Post an idea button with that text for the label, color red with white text

Generally, our customers will choose to change the text on this button if they are asking users to post something a little different, something that's not necessarily an idea, a suggestion or even a story for example.

Note: The button is the same for every challenge; if you change the text on the button, it will change for all of the challenges.

To change the text of the Post an idea button

  1. Go to Community Settings in the Crowd Management menu and go to the Customize text tab

  2. In the first box, enter the text that you would like to be on the button when users can submit their ideas.
