AWS quicksight documentation change

Service: quicksight · 2025-04-01 · Documentation low

File: quicksight/latest/user/create-custom-email-template.md

Summary

Updated documentation to reflect editing existing email templates rather than creating new ones. Simplified instructions, removed redundant sections about customization options, and updated terminology (e.g., 'email reports' to 'emails').

Security assessment

Changes focus on editorial improvements and workflow clarification rather than addressing security vulnerabilities. SES verification requirements were already documented and only received minor wording updates.
