In this article, we'll show how to view and edit email/notification templates in Learn, so the tone and language fits with your organisation.
We'll also show how the 'Reply to' email settings can be changed from the global default, for a specific template, and how to send a test email to check how the message will appear to learners. View this article for a full list of all email templates, including content, triggers and available variables.
