I’m loving the new action to edit a user’s profile. But I notice the email address sits under the profile image and often it’s not the nicest random word choice. Is there a way to hide it or replace it with another dummy option? I don’t really see the value in showing it to users… (this app is a Basic app).

Or link to app:

Thanks in advance…

Please try this CSS.

```auto
<pre><span><style>
div[id*='screenScrollView'] > div > :nth-of-type(1) :nth-child(2) :nth-child(2) {
display: none;
}

```

Thank you…

As a CSS virgin, do I insert that into a rich text component somewhere on the page?

User’s will see their own real email address when they are signed into the published version of the app. User’s should never see their anonymous email unless you explicitly add a component to show it.
