Customizing the no-documents message

By default, your library shows a short message when there is nothing to display. You can replace this with your own wording, which is helpful for guiding visitors or matching your tone of voice.

Customizing the messages shown when a library has no documents

Where to find it

Open Settings and go to the Advanced tab. You will find fields for the empty-library messages there.

The two messages

There are two separate messages you can set. One appears when the library contains no documents at all. The other appears when a visitor’s search or filter returns no matching documents, so you can word each for its situation, for example inviting visitors to clear their filters and try again.
