## Enable a branding preset

To enable a branding preset for your organization, you must designate it as the default preset. Then, the preset will be displayed on your organization settings page and implemented across panelist-facing pages and emails.

**To enable a branding preset:**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
In Private Panels, select **Settings** in the top navigation.

![](/files/9655cb9d68df7839127584d704e80416b50754a9)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select **Branding**. A list of your current branding presets is displayed.

![](/files/73ef9b6c6872d6bc8665b7a52ec753fd8c2ae166)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Hover over the preset you want to enable for your organization.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Set as default**.

![](/files/7dba89bf5e16ae339e1e84fd3a594b662ba924e3)
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Now, that preset is labeled as the default preset for your organization. It will be used as described in the sections above across panelist-facing pages and emails.

## Delete a branding preset

If you no longer need a branding preset, you can delete it.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you’re deleting your organization’s current default branding preset, we recommend assigning another default first. Otherwise, no custom branding will be applied to panelist-facing pages until you do.
{% endhint %}

**To delete a branding preset:**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
In Private Panels, select **Settings** in the top navigation.

![](/files/9655cb9d68df7839127584d704e80416b50754a9)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select **Branding**. A list of your current branding presets is displayed.

![](/files/73ef9b6c6872d6bc8665b7a52ec753fd8c2ae166)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select the preset you want to delete. That preset’s settings are displayed.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Under **Danger zone**, click **Delete branding**. A confirmation modal is displayed.

![](/files/9b9a4ef415e71e015514ddd740172a35089487ce)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Delete branding** to confirm.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Now, your preset is deleted.

## Custom domains

This article covers adding visual branding to your panelists’ experience. For information on using a custom domain for emails, see [Custom domain for emails](/private-panels/organization-settings/custom-domain-for-emails.md).

You can also have a custom domain for your surveys that panelists visit, such as **surveys.yourcompany.com** or **panel.yourcompany.com**. If you’ve added Private Panels to your Dscout plan, custom survey domains are included. They are not included if you have a standalone Private Panels account *without* a Dscout subscription (though you can purchase them as an add-on).

{% hint style="info" %}
Private Panels was previously managed outside of Dscout, so you may see a different logo and URL in some places. If you have any questions, contact <support@dscout.com>.
{% endhint %}
