Customizing footer

Hi All,
Is there a way to customize /var/www/ood/apps/sys/dashboard/app/views/layouts/_footer.html.erb in a permanent manner?

We would like to replace the icon on the left hand side of the footer with a link pointing to an internal support page, since users will need to access the internal support page instead of the open ondemand home page for support.
We noticed that after reboot, all changes to /var/www/ood/apps/sys/dashboard/app/views/layouts/_footer.html.erb are reverted.
Is there a way to make permanent changes to that file?
Thanks and best regards

I think you’re looking for these overrides if you want an easier way to specify a URL. Though, from the help menu at the top right.

I’m not quite sure why you’re unable to edit those files permanently. They’ll get wiped on reinstall, but system reboots or apache restarts shouldn’t affect them at all. I guess I’d say be sure you have sufficient privileges to modify them (root) and maybe sync to be sure edits get flushed?

Thanks Jeff. I did some more testing - all worked fine.
Best regards
