Once in edit mode, you can modify:
- Subject: The email subject line.

- Signature: The closing text.
Tip: Use the formatting options shown in the screenshot below to enhance the design of your notifications.

- Populate the following fields:
- Name: A unique identifier for the notification.
- Subject: The email subject line.
- Greeting: The opening salutation.
- Body: Include up to four paragraphs of content.

Assigning Notification to Courses
Notification templates are configured at the course level. To assign a notification template:

Training > Training Setup, then click Edit on the course. - Scroll to the bottom of the Training Info tab and open the Email Notification section.
