Customizing platform CSS

  • Updated

Platform Owners can use Custom CSS to customize the look and feel of their platform. To enable this optional setting, contact your Account Manager.

⚠️ 360Learning does not set up, maintain, or provide support for custom code.

Before enabling Custom CSS, we recommend:

  • Evaluating a testing and update process before enabling Custom CSS.
  • Hiring a developer if you plan to make substantial CSS changes to your platform.

If you determine Custom CSS is the right fit for you, Platform Owners should be prepared to:

  • Test the custom code every 3 weeks.
  • Manage, troubleshoot, and support any custom code issues.

Things to know about Custom CSS before getting started:

  • Due to the impact level of CSS changes, this feature is only available to Platform Owners.
  • Our platform updates every 3 weeks, so there can be a heavy administrative load to maintain custom code.
  • Customization happens on the platform group level and applies to all sub-groups.
