Create Your Custom Branding

Custom branding, including the Management Console access link and corporate identity elements, requires an Advanced Rebranding & Custom SSL license. This license allows you to customize the dashboard URL with your domain name. If you already have this license, navigate to Settings > Branding to add your branding and grant this license to turn it on. You can also rebrand Management Console by changing the favicon.
