Although, that doc has an error in the whitespace/indentation of the example. “brand:”  should be less indented.  — Steve.

You can edit the file in place for testing, but for normal production, I advise copying the values you want to change into plugins/local/public/locales/en.yml and editing them there.  But again, you have to be careful to preserve .yml hierarchy.

We want to change the header title from the standard "ArchivesSpace Public Interface" and we would like to put in a custom welcome message. I have tried editing the en.yml file following the instructions at https://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/user/customizing-text-in-archivesspace/ <https://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/user/customizing-text-in-archivesspace/> with no success.
