Branding Your Workspace 🎨

Want to make your Haystack workspace truly feel like it belongs to your company? You can easily customize it with your own logos, colors, and even your unique lingo. This guide will walk you through how to put your company’s personal stamp on Haystack.

📌 Only Workspace Admins can make these changes, so if you're not an admin, you'll need to ask one to help out.

 Once you're ready, here’s what to do:

  1. Go to your settings. Click the little arrow next to your name or photo in the top right corner of the screen. A dropdown menu will appear.

  2. Select Workspace Settings.

  3. Find Manage Workspace. On the left-hand menu, click on Manage Workspace.

Brand It Your Way

Now for the fun part! This page is where you can change the look and feel of your Haystack workspace.

  • Logos and Colors: Upload your company logo and choose your brand colors. This will make Haystack match your company's vibe.

  • Aliases: You can change the words Haystack uses to fit your company culture. For example, you can change "People" to "Haystackers" or "Employees"—whatever sounds more like you!

Don't forget to click Save at the bottom of the page!

  • File Types: For your main logos (like your workspace, email, and Slack logos), we highly recommend using an .svg file. It’s the best way to make sure your logo looks crisp and clear on all devices.

Announcements & Profile Assets

Towards the bottom of the Manage Workspace page, you'll find a section where you can upload assets for announcements and profile covers. Once you upload them, your team can easily use them when creating content or customizing their profiles. This is a great way to make sure everything looks consistent and beautiful!

Pro-Tip: We suggest uploading about 10 different images so your team has plenty of options to choose from.

That's it! Your Haystack workplace is now beautifully branded and ready to go. Great job!
