If you want to use home group branding, you'll need to check your [account's **Enable Home Group Branding** setting](/v1/docs/account-settings#enable-home-group-branding). By enabling home group branding, you'll be able to [create a dashboard set](/v1/docs/adding-a-dashboard-set) for the group that displays their logo. This will also let you set custom logos and emails for a specific group. ![HomeGroupLogo20220621](https://cdn.document360.io/7efaadab-fef6-4186-806a-2ca14c9ce9ea/Images/Documentation/HomeGroupLogo20220621.png) You'll also be able to [create custom email templates](/v1/docs/adding-an-email-template) that include the group's logo. ## **Online Course Footer** The online course footer is the image that displays across the bottom of your online course tasks. ![Graphical user interface, website Description automatically generated](https://cdn.document360.io/7efaadab-fef6-4186-806a-2ca14c9ce9ea/Images/Documentation/branding-your-account-image-ougyb4ta.png) You can upload a default course footer by [editing your account's settings](/v1/docs/editing-your-account-settings) and expanding the [Customization accordion](/v1/docs/account-customization#footer). Refer to [SmarterU File Uploads](/v1/docs/smarteru-file-uploads-1#account) for the footer image’s file specifications. If you want to use a different footer for some of your courses, you can also [customize the footer at the course level](/v1/docs/online-course-customization#course-footer). ## **Online Course Template** Interested in giving all of your online courses a common appearance? Contact our [Success Desk](mailto:success@neovation.com) for information on how you can purchase an [online course template package](/v1/docs/about-the-course-template-package). ![A picture containing text, indoor Description automatically generated](https://cdn.document360.io/7efaadab-fef6-4186-806a-2ca14c9ce9ea/Images/Documentation/branding-your-account-image-y3u806ye.gif) ## **Course Completion Certificate** SmarterU includes a default course completion certificate (shown below) that’s used for all of your courses. ![Diagram Description automatically generated with low confidence](https://cdn.document360.io/7efaadab-fef6-4186-806a-2ca14c9ce9ea/Images/Documentation/branding-your-account-image-m18duyl3.png) However, you can [create a custom course completion certificate](/v1/docs/creating-a-custom-certificate) and [upload it to your account](/v1/docs/account-customization#course-completion-certificate).
