Once saved, your custom terms appear globally across in-app text, email notifications, and the mobile app. Only admins can edit labels. There is no limit on how many labels you change.Customize Your Labels

How Labels Work
Enter each label in its singular form only. Disco automatically generates the plural wherever it is needed. For example, entering participant produces “participant” in singular contexts and “participants” in plural contexts. Labels are capitalized by default. Enter a lowercase term if you want it to appear lowercase across the platform. Custom labels propagate throughout the platform, including:- In-app text and navigation
- Email notifications
- Mobile app

Can I customize the Instructor or Manager label through Roles as well?
Yes. Role names can also be updated individually by navigating to Admin > Members > Roles, selecting the role, and editing the Custom Name field. This updates the label for that specific role across the academy. For a global vocabulary change, use Admin > Appearance > Labels instead.
