# Customizing the 'Help' and login page messages
|
|
|
|
In large organizations, it is useful to have information about who maintains
|
|
the company GitLab server. You can customize and display this information on
|
|
the GitLab login page and on the GitLab server's `/help` page.
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to the **Admin** area, then click on **Preferences** and expand
|
|
**Help page**.
|
|
1. Under **Help page text**, fill in the required information about the
|
|
person(s) administering GitLab. This text can also contain any other
|
|
information that you wish to display to users.
|
|
|
|
![help message](help_message/help_text.png)
|
|
|
|
1. Save your changes.
|
|
|
|
The information you entered will be shown on the GitLab login page and on the
|
|
GitLab `/help` page (e.g., <https://gitlab.com/help>).
|
|

<!-- ## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
Include any troubleshooting steps that you can foresee. If you know beforehand what issues
|
|
one might have when setting this up, or when something is changed, or on upgrading, it's
|
|
important to describe those, too. Think of things that may go wrong and include them here.
|
|
This is important to minimize requests for support, and to avoid doc comments with
|
|
questions that you know someone might ask.
|
|
|
|
Each scenario can be a third-level heading, e.g. `### Getting error message X`.
|
|
If you have none to add when creating a doc, leave this section in place
|
|
but commented out to help encourage others to add to it in the future. -->
