Customise binder

Open this page in Sånn Admin

Customise binder sets the binder’s identity: name, description, theme colour, cover image and logo. A live preview shows the real binder header as you work, and you can switch it between phone and desktop. Which languages your content exists in is set on its own page, Binder languages.

How to

Change the name and description

1. Type in Name and Description. The name appears in the binder header, the user's binder list, email notifications and shares. Keep the description to a couple of sentences.
2. Press Save changes. Changing the name does not affect the binder URL or internal identifiers.

Set the theme colour

1. Pick a swatch under Colour or open the colour field at the end of the row for your own hex code.
2. Check the preview — the colour fills the header band and is used on accents and highlights throughout the binder.
3. Press Save changes.

Change the cover image

1. Drop an image on Cover image or click the area to pick a file. Landscape, 1280×600 recommended, up to 5 MB.
2. Or press Choose from gallery pick a ready-made image and press Use this image.
3. Press Save changes.

Change the logo

1. Drop an image on Logo or click the area to pick a file. Square, at least 200×200, under 2 MB.
2. Watch the preview update immediately.
3. Press Save changes.

Remove a cover image or logo

1. Press Remove under the image you want gone.
2. Press Save changes. Without a logo the header shows the binder's initials; without a cover it shows the colour band alone.

Good to know

• Nothing here saves by itself, images included. Unsaved changes stays at the bottom until you press Save changes, and leaving without saving loses the lot.
• The logo sits over the cover, so avoid important subject matter or text where they meet.
• Switch the preview between Phone and Desktop — the cover crops differently on each.
• If an image will not upload, check the format and that it is inside the size shown under the drop area.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I add languages?

On the Binder languages page. That is where you set the primary language, add the others and decide the priority order; the translating itself happens on Translate.

A language is not showing for users — why?

Check that the content is actually translated into that language on Translate, that the language is added on Binder languages, and where it sits in the priority order.
