Manage course and lesson themes

Learn how to manage course and lesson themes via the web app.

What are course and lesson themes?

Course and lesson themes allow you to customize individual courses and lessons beyond the default theme to make the learning experience even more engaging for your teams. From selecting color schemes to adding logos, you can create visually stunning courses that help distinguish between companies, sub-brands, and topic groupings.
