Hi! I'm trying to customize an Experience Builder app by changing the text in the Edit widget to make the tool more user-friendly. I can't figure out how to update the "Editor" heading. I've looked throughout the code to find a reference to it and ChatGPT/Gemini/Copilot haven't been able to trace it.

Do you have any ideas where that "Editor" text can be updated in code?

The Experience Builder Editor Widget is built on top of the JavaScript API Editor Component. As far as I can tell, the title is not exposed as a configurable option, so changing it would involve hacking in through the shadow-root and attempting to change it that way. According to the JavaScript API team, if you ever feel the need to hack the shadow-root, you should notify them and request making it an editable option, so go do that, too.
