+title: Edit the "About" section
+description: How to how to edit the "About" section
+---
+
+Users that are not logged in will see an _About_ section on the front page of of <span class="-tracking-[0.075em]">wanderer</span>. You can completely customize this section to give users important information about your specific instance. 
+
+![About](../../../../assets/guides/wanderer_about.png)
+
+The content of the _About_ section is written in [Markdown](https://www.markdownguide.org/cheat-sheet/). E.g. the default content that you see above looks as follows:
+
+```Markdown
+Welcome to wanderer, a self-hosted service for managing and sharing your outdoor adventures.
+
+With wanderer you can:
+- Upload and store your GPS tracks (GPX files)
+- Organize routes with descriptions, waypoints, photos, and tags
+- Search and filter through your personal trail library
+- Optionally connect with other wanderer instances via ActivityPub to share tracks across the Fediverse
+- And much more
+
+wanderer is designed for explorers who value privacy, control, and open technology.
+```
+
+Depending on how you installed <span class="-tracking-[0.075em]">wanderer</span> the process of editing the content looks slightly different:
+
+## Installed via Docker
+
+1. Open your docker-compose.yml file.
+2. Find the `volumes` section of the `web` container.
+3. Look for the following line (it is commented out by default):
+```yaml 
+ - ./data/about.md:/app/build/client/md/about.md
+ ```
+4. Uncomment the line (remove the `#` at the beginning, if present).
+5. Make sure the left-hand side (`./data/about.md`) points to a valid Markdown file on your host machine.
+6. Save your changes and restart the container:
+```bash
+docker compose restart web
+```
+7. Whatever you put in that Markdown file will now appear in the _About_ section.
+
+ ## Installed from source
+1. Navigate to the `web/build/client/md/` directory.
+2. Open the file `about.md` in your text editor of choice.
+3. Replace the contents with your own Markdown text.
+4. Save the file.
+5. No rebuild is required — the file is loaded dynamically at runtime.
