About Customizing Studio Appearance
Attention: A Manage Settings permission is required to perform the actions on this page.
You can change the appearance of Studio to reflect your organization’s branding. Custom appearance applies to all users of your master account. The following customization options are available:
- Custom Logo: Change the logo (throughout Studio).
- Custom Branding: Change user interface colors (outside the widgets).
- Conversation Display: Customize the way interactions display in Document Explorer and Feedback widget.
- Color Palettes: Change report colors (inside the widgets).
Custom Logo
You can customize your Studio appearance by changing or removing the site’s logo. The logo appears in Studio’s header and is visible on every page. Clicking the logo opens homepage of Studio. When users save or distribute their dashboards as a PDF, the export files also contain the logo.
Recommended Logo Dimensions
Studio will automatically scale the image to fit the reserved space for best display in both Studio and PDF exports. We recommend these dimensions for logos:
- Width: Less or equal to 300 pixels.
- Height: Less or equal to 60 pixels.
