@sarina thank you, yes below is the User Admin Page I mean, though I have been able to sort out both issues after I successfully deploy the openedx-plugin-example. You are also right with [How can I persist edits to student/edx\_ace/accountactivation/email/\* so they survive Tutor rebuilds?](https://discuss.openedx.org/t/how-can-i-persist-edits-to-student-edx-ace-accountactivation-email-so-they-survive-tutor-rebuilds/16653) added my override here and everything is looking pretty good.

My breakthrough came after running:

> mkdir -p “$(tutor config printroot)/env/build/openedx/requirements/”  
> echo “openedx-plugin-example” \>\> “$(tutor config printroot)/env/build/openedx/requirements/private.txt”
> 
> and
> 
> tutor config save --append OPENEDX\_EXTRA\_PIP\_REQUIREMENTS=“git+https://github.com/open-craft/xblock-poll.git”  
> tutor config save --append OPENEDX\_EXTRA\_PIP\_REQUIREMENTS=“git+https://github.com/cookiecutter-openedx/openedx-plugin-example.git@main#egg=openedx-plugin-example&subdirectory=.&refresh=202509111200”
> 
> Unfortunately the later is not in the documentation
