Changing the Title, Description and Journey Language

NextSteps, a digital tool developed by the Jesus Film Project, provides users with the ability to customize their journeys to better suit their team’s organizational needs and their audience’s preferences. This guide will walk you through the process of changing the title, description, and language of a journey, ensuring that your digital campaigns are well-organized and accessible to a diverse audience.

Why Customize Your Journey?

Customizing the title, description, and language of your journey is essential for:

• Team Organization: Helps your team understand the purpose of the journey and its strategic goals.
• Audience Relevance: Ensures the journey is tailored to the language and cultural context of your audience.
• Improved User Experience: Adjusts the interface for languages that are read from right to left (RTL), such as Arabic, Hebrew, or Urdu.

Step-by-Step Guide to Changing the Title, Description, and Language

Step 1: Access the Journey Details

1. Log in to your NextSteps account.
2. Navigate to the journey you want to edit. If you’ve pulled a journey from the template library, it will retain its default name.
3. Hover over the menu icon next to the journey name and click on "Edit Details." Alternatively, you can click directly on the placeholder name of the journey.

Step 2: Change the Journey Title

1. In the "Edit Details" section, locate the field for the journey title.
2. Enter a new name for your journey. Choose a title that clearly reflects the purpose of the journey for your team.
3. Save your changes.

Step 3: Add a Description

1. In the same "Edit Details" section, locate the field for the journey description.
2. Add a description that provides context for your team. Include:
   • The purpose of the journey.
   • Details about the target audience (e.g., their profile, needs, or preferences).
   • Strategic goals for the journey.
3. Save your changes.

Note: The title and description are not visible to the audience going through the journey. They are for internal use only, helping your team stay organized and aligned.

Step 4: Change the Journey Language

1. In the "Edit Details" section, locate the language settings.
2. Select the appropriate language for your journey from the dropdown menu.
3. If you are working with a language that is read from right to left (RTL), such as Arabic, Hebrew, or Urdu, the interface will automatically adjust to display content from right to left. This ensures a seamless and user-friendly experience for your audience.

Step 5: Review and Save Changes

1. Double-check the updated title, description, and language settings to ensure accuracy.
2. Save all changes before exiting the "Edit Details" section.

Best Practices for Customizing Journey Details

1. Be Descriptive: Use clear and concise language for the title and description to ensure your team understands the journey’s purpose.
2. Include Strategic Information: Add details about the target audience and goals to help team members who may join the project later.
3. Test Language Settings: If you’re using an RTL language, preview the journey to ensure the interface adjustments are correct.
4. Regular Updates: Periodically review and update the title and description to reflect any changes in the journey’s purpose or audience.

Why Language Customization Matters

Language customization is a key feature of the NextSteps Journey Builder. It ensures that the journey’s language matches the text content, which is critical for maintaining consistency and clarity. For RTL languages, the automatic interface adjustment improves readability and enhances the overall user experience.
