# General and branding There are lots of ways you can customise your portal. If you've not already, head over to **Settings** from the main menu to get started. {% embed url="" %} Managing your portal settings walkthrough {% endembed %} ## 🪖 General General is where you can customise the high level things on the portal. Keep in mind the Portal name is used in all email correspondence to your users. You can't change your portal URL from here but leave a message using the chat widget and one of our support team will be happy to assist #### Mobile app When enabled users can have access to Synap's [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/app/synap-create-mcqs-spaced-repetition/id1029982959) and [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ac.synap.synapandroid) mobile apps.

Decide whether or not to use our [Terms & conditions](https://legal.synap.ac/) and [Privacy policy](https://legal.synap.ac/privacy-policy) or add in your own. This can either be a external link (Custom URL) or create your own using a note on Synap. {% content-ref url="../content-management/notes" %} [notes](https://academy.synap.ac/doc/portal-settings/content-management/notes) {% endcontent-ref %} ## 🐴 ➡ 🦄 Branding Customise the portal with your own branding, add logos, colours and a default card image. Upload clear, high quality images in the recommended sizes (see below)
* **Logo -** Used across the platform, in emails & generated certificates **- 300x100px** * Recommend a PNG with transparent background * **Square logo -** Used in the top left corner home button throughout the portal **- 100x100px** * Recommend a PNG with transparent background * **Favicon - Used in web tabs - 30x30px** * Recommend a PNG with transparent background * **Default card** - Used when custom covers aren't provided for exams, collections, collection items, courses & assignments - **490x300px** * Recommend not including too much text on covers as they are not responsive, default cards and cards are the same size. If users are going to have lots of content we recommend making the top level cards (courses & collections) different so they can easily navigate through them, then having a default card for each bit of content works well. ![Using different cards for different content ](https://3316915154-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MkgvUeCmTPeNouRxGPC%2Fuploads%2FQZViosGNQIbgLM7MxjZz%2Fnicecovers.png?alt=media\&token=d0f220f8-087c-4516-ba85-a4c2b992214d) * **Primary colour** - A hex code that will set your menu icon colour as well as all titles * **Secondary colour** - A hex code to set all the secondary colours on platform (card buttons) * **Primary & Secondary button colour** - will be inferred from Primary and Secondary so leave blank if you want them to be the same. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
