Set a Cover Image for an Experience

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.
