Branding – Exclaimer Knowledge Base

Description

The Branding features allows you to upload and set different signature features as Branding options. You can then apply the Branding to your signatures to create consistent designs across all signatures that use your customized Branding.

The Branding feature uses signature elements to draw assets into your signature from the Branding screen. This means that when you create or edit your Branding options, all signatures that have the Branding feature applied are automatically updated to use the assets you have chosen.

How to access it

From the header bar, select the cogwheel icon to open the Settings menu.
Select Branding. This open the Branding screen, which contains all the options available to build your Branding.

_{The Settings menu is found under the cogwheel icon.}

Creating Branding
