Change the general settings for your custom portal experience in UI Builder. For example, you can modify the title, description, and
path for your portal experience.

## Before you begin

You must be in the correct application scope to edit the experience settings. If you're in a different scope, the experience settings are read-only. To change your application scope, go to the main header, select the application
picker (![Application picker.]()), and then select the application scope that you want. For more information about the application scope, see [Learn about security and roles](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/nq2SVpZbgN_ULCqGmLGRuQ "Set up the security and roles for your UI Builder instance.").

Role required: ui_builder_admin

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllNow Experience FrameworkUI Builder.
2. Open a portal experience to work in or create an experience by selecting CreateExperience.  
   For more information, see [Configure how users interact with your applications in UI Builder](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/nDWg0NsWQpdF_OppvTVe5g "Learn what an experience is in UI Builder. Understand what an experience contains.").
3. Select Settings in the UI Builder header.  
4. Change the title, description, and path of your portal experience.  
   * The title lets everyone know what the workspace is called. Take care when choosing a name for your workspace.
   * The description lets your users know the details of the workspace.
   * The path must be unique. The path can include digits (0-9), letters (A-Z, a-z), and a few special characters (`"-"`, `"."`, `"_"`, or `"~"`) with the words separated by a forward slash or hyphen.
