Hi everyone! I wanted to customize the texts from login/logout page in Kibana version 7.6 with my custom text. I have found where the texts are written: - for the `Welcome to Kibana` and `Your window into the Elastic Stack`, it is referred in the file `kibana\x-pack\legacy\plugins\security\public\views\login\components\login_page\login_page.js` - for the `You have logged out of Kibana.`, it is referred in the file `kibana\x-pack\legacy\plugins\security\public\views\login` I changed the `defaultMessage` with my own texts, but when I restart Kibana, the text does not seem to have changed. They remain the initial texts from Kibana. Do you have any idea what is happening? How can I successfully change it? Thank you in advance!! 🙂 ---

Hi You need to be aware that any of those changes will get lost once you e.g. update Kibana to a new version. However to make the kind of change visible, you need Kibana to trigger a rebuild by deleting the `optimize` folder. When you restart Kibana, you should be able to see those changes. Best, Matthias ---

thank you very much for your reply @matw. Sorry for my following question but I am wondering, by deleting the optimize folder, you mean 1. deleting the whole `optimize` folder, 2. deleting everything inside `optimize` folder. I deleted the whole `optimize` folder but I got the following error message: `Browserslist: caniuse-lite is outdated. Please run next command npm update` and it does not let me open the Kibana. ---
