# URL Alias

Once any node is created, an automatic URL is generated. To keep the website user-friendly, a URL alias is generated to mask the technical/numbered URL. This is referred to as the URL alias. In all content types on the site, a specific URL alias pattern has been determined and used. Site Admins have permission to edit the URL Alias to customize it further.

The following are steps on how to override the URL alias:

1- Go to the **Content** you would like to edit and click on **Edit.**
