In the Primary color picker, you can choose the color that is used for the Immersive UI.

While you are previewing the changes Live, the Live theme preview pop-up still appears at the bottom of the screen. You can choose to minimize the pop-up.

Multiple branding multiple-branding

Here’s how to implement multiple branding:

On the Admin app, select Branding on the left pane.
Select Edit in the Multiple Branding section.
Select the toggle button and enable it.

Internal users

Select an active field from the dropdown.
Based on the selection, you can change the name of the organization and upload a new logo for the users.

External users

Select an active field from the dropdown.
Based on the selection, you can change the name of the organization and upload a new logo for the users.

NOTE

Internal users can have active fields like External users (e.g., Admin must add the multi branding for the internal users and external users separately by selecting active field values separately.)

Points to note

An Admin can add the multi-level branding for this active field value and the external user can login with different mechanisms (SSO Single (Okta, Mini orange), Social Login) and check if the multi branding is applicable.
An External user has an active field and active field value like the internal user: Even though it is shared, it must be separately specified in the multi branding by the admin. Once applied, external user can login with different mechanisms (SSO Single (Okta, Mini orange), Social Login) and check if the multi branding is applicable.
An External user moved from one profile to another profile: Moving the external user from one profile to another profile will not affect the active field value for the user unless the active field value is edited/ deleted by admin or the external user while logging in or registering

NOTE

When multiple branding is set for both internal and external users, with same active field name, with same active field value but different configuration. In this case, recommendation to customers would be to use same configuration setting (logo, theme, org name) to avoid discrepancy.
