Adjust it from `404.html` in the site `content` directory:
```
├── archetypes
├── content
│ ├── post
│   └── 404.html
├── layouts
```
If the file doesn't exist yet, copy it from the theme default:
```sh
$ cp themes/after-dark/content/404.html content
```
Configure your web server to redirect to `404.html` when pages cannot be found to use it. Combine with [Voyeur Module](/module/voyeur) for help creating {{< external href="https://gohugo.io/content-management/urls/#aliases" text="Page Aliases" />}}.
