How to apply a custom theme to your dashboard

A custom theme is available for all trialists and is included in our Pro and Scale plans.

  1. Click Customize from your dashboard’s navigation menu. From here, you can also upload a dashboard logo.

  2. Under the Theme heading, click on the dropdown and select Custom.

  3. Enter six-digit hex color codes for the dashboard elements you wish to change. The dashboard will automatically preview your changes.
