Set a Cover Image for an Experience

Note: This article is about the new beta Admin App, which is still in development. Changes may occur. Please provide feedback directly in the beta app.

Enhance your company's brand image by incorporating a high-quality Cover Image. These images help create a visually engaging layout for the sales team, enabling them to deliver a cleaner, more intuitive presentation to buyers.

If no Cover Image is added to an Experience, a default background will be automatically selected and resized. Users can also rearrange and organize these Experience previews on their Home Screen in their preferred order.

Note: Cover images are currently visible to users in the Content tab of Showpad's Web App, the Experiences tab of the iOS app, and Gmail and Outlook plugins.
