# Labels

Labels are customizable vocabulary settings that let you replace Disco's default terminology with words that match your organization's brand and language.

## **Overview**

Disco uses default terms throughout the platform: "Product," "Curriculum," "Member," and others. Labels let you swap these defaults for any words that fit your academy's identity. 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**

1. In the left navigation of the **Admin Dashboard**, select **Appearance**.
2. Click **Labels**.
3. Enter your preferred term in each field you want to change.
4. Click **Save**.

### **Available labels**

Disco lets you customize the following labels:

**Program-level roles**

| **Label**             | **What it refers to**                   | **Default** |
| :-------------------- | :-------------------------------------- | :---------- |
| Experience Member     | A member enrolled in a specific program | Member      |
| Experience Instructor | An instructor of a program              | Instructor  |
| Experience Manager    | A manager of a program                  | Manager     |

**Content terminology**

| **Label**  | **What it refers to**                         | **Default** |
| :--------- | :-------------------------------------------- | :---------- |

## **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

## **FAQ**

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Do I need to enter both the singular and plural forms of a label?">
    No. Enter only the singular form. Disco infers and applies the plural automatically wherever it appears in the platform.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Are labels case-sensitive?">
    Labels are capitalized by default. If you enter a lowercase term, Disco displays it in lowercase throughout the platform.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What characters are supported in a label?">
    Labels must use English characters only. Special characters and non-English text are not supported.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do custom labels update everywhere in the platform?">
    Custom labels update throughout most of the platform, including in-app text, emails, and mobile. Some notification messages and system-generated text may still display the default term in specific locations. If you notice a label not updating somewhere, contact Disco support.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What is the difference between updating a label in Appearance and updating a role name in Members?">
    Both affect how role names appear in the platform, but they operate differently. **Appearance > Labels** sets the global default term for all roles of that type. **Members > Roles > Custom Name** lets you rename a specific role. If you need a single, consistent term everywhere, use Appearance > Labels.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I reset a label back to the default?">
    Clear the custom text from the label field and save. Disco reverts to the original default term.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I use a label that is two words, like &#x22;Learning Path&#x22;?">
    Yes. Multi-word labels are supported. Enter the full phrase in singular form and Disco will apply it across the platform.
