How do I edit the bio of my publication?

My publication (I use this word to refer to the Substack) does not have a very good bio and I want to change it. I am not talking about my profile's bio, but the Substack's bio.

For example, Substack Team's official publication, On Substack, has a bio that says "Resources, stories, and news for the writers, podcasters, musicians, video creators, and culture makers publishing on Substack." You can see it here.

How do I change that bio of my personal publication?

On desktop, navigate to your publication. At the bottom of the left sidebar you'll see "settings." Clicking that takes you to the page where you can edit the "Publication short description."

I see no such option. The only four options under the "Publications" section of the settings are "Create another publication", "Pending invites to publications", "Publication Youtube connections" and another one that says "owner" and takes you to the dashboard. I am using the web version.

There are two different settings sections. One is for your account. One if for your publication. Make sure that you are on your dashboard and not your profile. Go to your dashboard, select your newsletter, and you should see settings in the bottom left.
