How to edit a testimonial

You can edit a testimonial's text, rating, images, and other details after it's collected. You can also highlight the best parts, add translations, and make a shorter version for places where space is tight.

• Click the testimonial you want to edit

Your changes also show up in any widget or Wall of Love that uses this testimonial.

Highlight the best parts

Highlights mark the key line in a testimonial, so readers can scan a page full of testimonials and still catch the important bit. For ideas on what to highlight, read our guide to testimonial highlights.

• Open the testimonial and click Edit

  

• Select the text you want to highlight

• In the formatting menu, click the highlight marker. You can also make text bold or italic from here

  

• Click Save

  

Use highlighted testimonials in widgets

• To show only testimonials that have highlights, go to Studio: https://app.senja.io/studio

• Open your widget or Wall of Love and click Select Testimonials

• Go to Filters → Highlights → Only with highlights

• Click Save Filters (Auto-add mode) or Save Selection (Manual selection mode)

  

Some widget styles are built for highlighted testimonials. In Studio → Widgets, pick the Highlights only label to see them.

Add translations

Add other language versions of a testimonial, so you can show the right one to the right audience.

• Open the testimonial and click Edit

  

• Click Add translation and choose the Language

  

• Click Generate Translation

  

• Review the result and click Add Translation if you're happy with it

  

• Switch between languages from the testimonial

  

Available languages: English, Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, German, French, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Korean, Arabic, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Turkish, Hindi, Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese, and Czech.

Create a shorter version

Need a short quote for a landing page but want to keep the full testimonial? Edit a copy, not the original.

• Open the testimonial and click Duplicate

  

• Add a tag to the copy, like Short version, so you can tell the two apart

• Click Edit on the copy

  

• Remove the sentences you don't need and click Save

  

• Filter by that tag when you add testimonials to a widget or Wall of Love

Edited something by mistake?

Saving an edit replaces what was there before. Senja doesn't have:

• An undo button

• A way to restore the original wording

• A revision history

If you know what it said before, click Edit, paste the original text back in, and click Save. You might find the original wording in:

• The email notification for the new testimonial, if it came from a Senja form

• The source platform, if it came from an import

• A CSV export, if you exported your testimonials before

• The original screenshot, if you imported it from an image

• Your Slack notifications, if you connected Senja to Slack

When your customer wants to change their testimonial

A new submission doesn't replace the old one. Each one is saved as a separate testimonial.

If a customer wants to fix a typo or update what they said, ask them to contact you, and edit it for them. See Submitting multiple testimonials or updating an existing one.
