Brand Smartsheet with Your Colors and Logo
This Help Article Appears in the Following Learning Tracks
Capabilities
Who can use this capability?
System Admins can set the default color settings and logo branding for everyone in the account. The item Owner and Admins can apply default colors and logo branding that will appear in new Smartsheet items (sheets, reports, workspaces, and dashboards) that you create. A license is required. Not sure about what plan type you have or whether you have a license? See Identify Your Smartsheet Plan and User Type..
Changing colors and logo will not retroactively apply to previously existing Smartsheet items or items for which you are not the Owner. See Global Account Settings for information on applying colors and logo for everyone.
Business and Enterprise
Maintain your organization's brand recognition by applying custom colors and uploading your logo to Smartsheet. The color settings and logo branding that you apply will be displayed in the Smartsheet application, as well as in email messages sent out from Smartsheet.
Changes to Personal Color Settings and Logo will be applied to any sheet, report, and dashboard that isn't in a workspace.
Workspaces inherit org level branding, not personal branding. Workspaces that you create after you apply your custom colors and logo branding will inherit the new settings; however, any workspaces that you've created before applying your custom colors and logo will need to be changed individually. Details on branding a workspace can be found in Apply Colors and Logo Branding to a Workspace.
Supported Image Formats
Compatible file formats include:
- PNG—All PNGs are supported.
- GIF—Animated GIFs can be uploaded, but they will not play in the grid. The initial frame will be used as the preview. The animation will play after you double-click the image in the grid.
- JPG—JPGs in the RGB color space are supported (this includes your camera phone photos). Images in a CMYK color space targeted for print are not supported at this time.
