How do I add a logo, CSS, JavaScript, or HTML file to customize a catalog?
As a Catalog admin, you can customize your Catalog using cascading style sheet (CSS), JavaScript (JS), or Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) files. Catalog supports both a copy the source code, or links to external files. It is recommended that you use a secure site to host your custom style files, otherwise they may break when trying to load. HTML/CSS can also be used to customize a program certificate or course certificate.
You can also upload a catalog header logo and catalog badge logo, as well as a browser favicon. For details and specifications, please view the Canvas Catalog Logo Guidelines.
