# Add a welcome message to the sign-in page (GitLab Community Edition)
It is possible to add a markdown-formatted welcome message to your GitLab
sign-in page. Users of GitLab Enterprise Edition should use the [branded login
page feature](/ee/customization/branded_login_page.html) instead.
## Omnibus-gitlab example
In `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
```ruby
gitlab_rails['extra_sign_in_text'] = <<'EOS'
# ACME GitLab
Welcome to the [ACME](http://www.example.com) GitLab server!
EOS
```
Run `sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure` for changes to take effect.
## Installation from source
In `/home/git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml`:
```yaml
# snip
production:
# snip
extra:
sign_in_text: |
# ACME GitLab
Welcome to the [ACME](http://www.example.com) GitLab server!
```
Run `sudo service gitlab reload` for the change to take effect.
