) alongside the notification you wish to edit. - Click Edit.

) alongside the notification you wish to edit.Now whenever this notification is triggered the new settings will be used.
Note that only the settings with the override toggle enabled will use the edited content for the individual notification. Any settings that do not have the toggle enabled will instead inherit the content or configuration from the higher context level (e.g. the site level). You can therefore revert a setting back to the default by disabling the toggle for that setting.
If a notification is changed at a higher context level, only the settings with the toggle disabled will be updated on edited notifications at lower levels (e.g. on an individual program). Any changes made to notifications on individual instances will not be applied elsewhere.
