How to customize your organization’s branding

Customizing your brand identity is a key feature that allows you to align your training content with your organization’s visual identity. It enables you to define custom themes, harmonize your module colors, and automate visual formatting when creating content.

1. Access the configuration

To access the brand identity settings:

  • Click on your avatar in the top right corner.
  • Select Settings.
  • Go to the Brand identity tab.

You will then access all customizable themes within your organization.


2. Understanding how themes work

Each theme defines the visual identity applied to your modules.

  • A theme applies at the module level.
  • It impacts all sequences within the selected module.
  • A theme set as default will automatically apply to all newly created modules.

Themes allow you to:

  • Automatically apply a default block theme (if selected before content generation).
  • Access custom colors in the block-level color palette.
  • Automatically update colors that were previously applied.

3. Create or edit a theme

From the Brand identity tab, you can:

  • Edit an existing theme by clicking the ✏️ (pencil) icon.
  • Create a new theme if needed.

A configuration window will open. You can then:

  • Edit the theme name.
  • Set the theme as default.
  • Choose a default block theme.
  • Modify custom colors.
  • Modify complementary colors.

4. Default block theme

The default block theme defines the visual style automatically applied to all blocks when generating or manually adding content within a module.

It determines:

  • Background colors.
  • Associated text colors.

If the theme is selected before content generation

  • Generated blocks will automatically apply the default block theme.
  • Custom colors will be integrated from the start.
  • If the theme is changed later, all blocks using the theme’s custom colors will update automatically.

This allows you to harmonize an entire module in just a few clicks.

If content was generated without selecting a theme beforehand

  • The default block theme cannot be applied retroactively.
  • Existing blocks will keep their original formatting.
  • Custom colors will remain available in the palette and can be applied manually.

⚠️ Important
Only blocks using colors from the theme palette (Color 1 to 4) will update automatically when the theme changes.
Manually defined colors (outside the theme palette) will not be modified.


Custom colors

Each theme includes 4 custom colors.

For each color:

  • One background color.
  • One associated text color.

These colors:

  • Are available in the block-level color palette.
  • Can be modified at any time.
  • Will automatically update if they have been used in a module.

⚠️ If you modify a custom color already used in a module, all blocks using that color will update automatically.


Complementary colors

Complementary colors are available when editing a text block.

They allow you to define specific colors for:

  • Keywords.
  • Highlighted elements.
  • Other text emphasis elements.

Please note:

  • No complementary color is generated automatically.
  • They are fully customizable within each theme.
  • They apply only to text elements.

If you modify a complementary color already used in a module, all text elements using that color will update automatically.


5. Apply a theme to a module

To apply a theme to a module:

  • Open the relevant module.
  • Access the module settings.
  • Select the desired theme.
  • Save.

The theme will then apply to all sequences within the module.

💡 Recommendation
For optimal visual consistency, it is recommended to select a theme before generating content.


6. edtake branding

If you have a Team or Engage subscription, you can remove the edtake branding so that it does not appear in your exports.

 

 


7. Additional customization options

In addition to themes, you can:

  • Manually customize background and text colors during content creation by selecting Custom.
  • Add a background image from one of the following sources:
    • AI generation
    • Your computer
    • Clipboard
    • Library
    • Unsplash
    • Pexels

You can then select the most appropriate text color to ensure readability.

 

 


Benefits of customization

Adopting a consistent visual identity offers several advantages:

  • Stronger brand identity: alignment with your institutional colors.
  • Immersive user experience: visual consistency improves navigation and engagement.
  • Effective visual hierarchy: better highlighting of key sections and information.

Configuring your brand identity allows you to create training experiences that are consistent, professional, and aligned with your brand.
