# Editing custom help

{% hint style="info" %}
Custom help can only be edited by a Registry Administrator.
{% endhint %}

Registry Administrators can configure the help text that appears when users select the question mark beside a metadata item field from an item page or a respective item editor (below). For fields that are shared by multiple metadata item types, this help text can be configured on a per-item-type basis.
