# How to add and edit milestone texts in a custom HeiaHeia challenge

## This article explains how to add and edit milestone texts in a custom HeiaHeia challenge.

### **How to edit milestone texts**

You can start editing the challenge texts once your contact person has made the challenge visible in HeiaHeia.

1. Open **Admin tools**
2. Select **Challenges**
3. Find the desired challenge and select **Edit challenge**
4. Go to the section **Milestones**
5. Add or edit the title
6. Add or edit the text
7. Finally, click **Update challenge**

### **Language versions (important)**

The default language of the app is English, so:

- Add the text always under the English language option (default)
- You can also write the text under English in your native language (or another language)
- If you create an English version, you can also add translations in other languages. You'll find the language selector on the top of the page.

👉 Do not leave the English field empty, otherwise the text may not appear in the app

### **Editing texts**

The text is written on the web, but mainly read on mobile → keep the text short and easy to scan.

- Use short paragraphs (less is more)
- Avoid long blocks of text

You can format text using Markdown. This is how Markdown formatting appears in the app:

- \_important note\_ → *important note*
- \*\*remember this\*\* → **remember this**

Write the symbols directly around the text (e.g. \_*i*mportant note*\_*, \*\*remember this\*\*)

### **Adding images**

- We recommend adding one image or video for each milestone
- You can choose to add either one image and one video, or two image
- Please note that the same image will be shown across all language versions

### **Adding videos**

- Upload the video first to YouTube or Vimeo
- Add the video link at the end of the text

The video is embedded automatically and:

- Appears at the top of the milestone text section
- Can be played directly in the app

**Please note:**

- YouTube Shorts videos are not supported
- Make sure the video settings allow embedding

### **FAQ**

**Q: Can I preview the content?**

A: Changes are saved in the admin tools, where you can review and edit them later. Currently, content cannot be previewed on mobile.

**Q: When do the texts become visible to participants?**

A: The texts become visible when the defined main player (individual, team, or organization) reaches the specific milestone.

**Q: Can I add both images and videos to the same milestone?**

A: Yes, you can.

**Q: Why is the text not visible in the app?**

A: The most common reason is that the English text field is empty.
