# Edit default content

When setting up your Shopify theme you may come across text content that can't be edited from the theme editor. Here's where the default content editor comes in handy.

To edit default content in your Shopify theme, go to **Online Store > Themes**, click the **three dots** next to your theme, and select **Edit default theme content**. Then, find the text you want to change using the tabs or search bar, edit it, and click **Save**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Editing default content is not possible while using a theme trial.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Default content can also be edited by using apps such as **Translate and adapt** and many other translation apps.
{% endhint %}

## How to edit default content

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Access the Theme Content Editor**

* From your Shopify admin, navigate to **Online Store > Themes**.
* Locate the theme you want to edit and click the three dots (or "More actions") button.
* Select **Edit default theme content** from the dropdown menu.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Find and edit the text**

{% hint style="info" %}
Be careful not to change text inside curly brackets `{{ }}` or HTML link tags `<a href="">` and `</a>` as this can break the theme's functionality.
{% endhint %}

* **Tabs and categories**
  * The default theme content editor groups text by category, which you can view using the tab navigation.
* **Search bar**
  * Use the "Filter items" search bar to locate specific phrases or words you want to change.
* **Edit the text**
  * Click on the tab or category that includes the text you want to change and edit the text in the available fields.
* **Remove text**
  * To remove default text, replace it with a single space.
    {% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Save your changes**

* Click **Save** to apply your changes.
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

### Examples

* **Powered by Shopify**: You can remove this text from the footer by searching for "Powered by Shopify" in the "Checkout & system > Links" area.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.brickspacelab.com/slab/guides/basics/edit-default-content.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
