Every organization has its visual language, and Glean is here to ensure employees can feel at home while searching their company's data. Administrators can control several aspects of Glean's look and feel to ensure that it fits with the rest of the tools that employees use at work. These configuration options can be accessed via the admin console > Settings > Appearance.

The following elements can be customized:

Additional details about the appearance and home page settings can be found below.

The appearance menu includes all of the customization settings that impact the look and feel of Glean throughout the application. These settings will apply to all users at a company.

Logo

The logo will replace the Glean logo in the upper left-hand corner of the navigation sidebar. It must meet the following criteria:

If used, custom logos must be uploaded for both light mode and dark mode.

Primary brand color

The primary brand color is the clearest way to bring your brand into a user's entire Glean experience. It is used for links, mono-colored icons, and a wide variety of other visual components throughout Glean.

Navigation color

This color is the background for the left-hand navigation menu, which appears on all Glean pages except for the new tab page.

Note: Glean will display an error if the color combinations selected are too low in contrast for sufficient accessibility.

The home page settings menu allows admins to define the look and feel of the Glean home page for employees at their company. This is the best place for people within your company to start their work, and as such, a logical canvas to share your company's visual identity. You can access the home page settings by clicking on Settings > Appearance > Manage home page.

Background image

The images must be in SVG format, or be at least 2400x1600px. Larger images will be scaled down, with their initial aspect ratios retained. Admins can set different images for both light mode and dark mode.

This image will be the default background for all users at your company when they first encounter the Glean home page. Users who have set their background from Glean's library will not have their choices affected by any change in the default background.

Widgets

These settings allow admins to enable or disable these widgets on the home page for all users companywide. Glean recommends keeping both of these widgets enabled.

Quick actions
