# Message Overrides

### Message overrides

{% embed url="<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXV6B64A9zo>" %}

The ‘Message Overrides’ node allows for easy customisation of system messages issued during a particular logical transaction / step. The standard message text (which may not be suitable for spoken feedback/instructions) can be replaced with a more appropriate message for voice-guided operations.

The message class or number is not required. Only the exact original message string and the replacement string are necessary, as shown below.

**Example**

A message containing a HU variable is replaced by using the ‘&1’ to represent the variable:
{% endhint %}
