By customizing the welcome message, **administrators** can tailor the user experience, making it more personalized and relevant to the audience.

This guide will walk you through the steps to modify this message in SpiffWorkflow.

## Steps to Update the Welcome Message

2. **Access the `welcome.bpmn` File:**
   This is the specific file where the welcome message is configured. Ensure you're at the path `siteadministration.onboarding`. This path is crucial as it's the trigger for the welcome message.
