# Updating the Dashboard Banner

## Overview
The Dashboard Banner is a customisable panel that appears at the top of the Dashboard for all of your users. Use it to welcome learners, highlight a message or campaign, and point them somewhere useful with a call-to-action button. You can style it with your own colours or a background image so it aligns with your organisation's branding.

You'll find the Dashboard Banner alongside your other branding options on the **Theme** settings tab.

## How to update the Dashboard Banner
1. Go to **Settings → Theme**.
2. Scroll to the **Dashboard Banner** section.
3. Turn on **Show a custom banner on the dashboard for all users**.
4. Enter a **Banner Title** and, if you'd like, a **Banner Message**.
5. To add a call-to-action, fill in the **Button Label** and the **Button URL** (the link the button opens).
6. Set your colours using the colour pickers — **Background Colour** and **Text Colour** for the banner, plus **Button Colour** and **Button Text Colour** for the button. Choose a preset swatch, or type a HEX code.
7. Click **Save** on the bar at the top of the screen (or **Discard** to undo your changes).
8. Open the **Dashboard** to see your banner at the top of the page.

## Adding a banner image
Instead of (or as well as) a background colour, you can display an image in the banner.

1. In the **Dashboard Banner** section, click the **Banner Image** picker.
2. Choose to upload your own image, search Unsplash, or pick an image from your Image Library.
3. If uploading, select the file from your computer.
4. Click **Save**.

Your title, message and button will still appear over the image on the Dashboard.

> **Note:** For the best result, use a banner image around 250px tall. The image expands to the width of the page and is anchored to the top-left. PNG and GIF files are supported.

## Things to keep in mind
* The Dashboard Banner appears for **all** users, so keep the message relevant to everyone.
* A banner must have either an image, or a background colour with a title — an empty banner won't display.
* Custom branding, including the Dashboard Banner, is only available on paid accounts. If you don't see the Theme options, your account will show a message about upgrading.
* Changes only take effect once you click **Save** on the top bar.

## FAQs
**Who sees the Dashboard Banner?**
Every user who has access to the Dashboard sees the same banner — it isn't targeted to specific teams or roles.

**Can I link the button anywhere?**
Yes. Enter any URL in the **Button URL** field, such as your company website or a specific piece of learning.

**Why isn't my banner showing?**
Make sure the toggle is on, that you've either added a background colour with a title or a banner image, and that you've clicked **Save**.

## Who can do this
**Owners** and **Admins** can update the Dashboard Banner. **Managers**, **Content Managers**, **People Managers**, **Instructors**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users cannot — the Settings area is restricted to Owners and Admins. Custom branding is also a paid-account feature, so the Theme options only appear where it has been enabled.
