How to Customize the Learning Space

In this article, you’ll discover how to customize your EducateMe learning space to reflect your brand, from colors and logo to domain and email settings.

EducateMe lets you showcase your company’s identity by applying custom colors, fonts, icons, logo, favicon, domain, custom email, and sign-in cover. This boosts brand presence and creates a professional, cohesive experience for your learners.

Follow these steps to customize your space:


Step 1: Set up custom branding

  1. Click your profile icon (top-right corner) → Organization settings.

  2. Select the General tab to open branding options.

  3. Customize colors, fonts, icons, logo, favicon, and sign-in cover.

EducateMe lets you apply your brand identity across the entire learning space — including colors, fonts, logo, favicon, domain, and sign-in experience.

All settings live in Organization Settings → General.


Step 2: Connect your domain

EducateMe allows you to connect a personal domain for a fully branded platform.

1. Define your domain and subdomain. Decide on the exact URL you want to use for your EducateMe platform.

For example: app.example.com

→ here, app is the subdomain, and example.com is your main domain.

2. Log in to your Domain Provider and navigate to the Manage DNS or DNS Settings page.

3. Create a new record with the following details:

  • Type - CNAME

  • Name - app - subdomain name (check the first point)

  • Value - 3e775ea6e2baab15.vercel-dns-016.com - the record value. This value is connected to our servers and allows you to add a mapping from your DNS to our server.

4. Once all the steps are completed, send an email to roman@educate-me.co with your domain and subdomain values.

It may take a few hours for DNS changes to take effect, depending on your domain provider. During this period, your custom domain might not be active right away.


Step 3: Connect a custom email

By default, platform emails (invitations, notifications, reminders) are sent from an EducateMe address (no-reply@educate-me.co). You can replace this with your own company email so learners receive messages from a familiar sender.

To set it up, reach out via the support widget on the platform or email roman@educate-me.co. Our team will configure it for you.


Step 4: Explore authorization options

Authorization options let you control how learners sign in, for example, restricting access to users with a specific email domain, or enabling SSO.

Once your domain is connected, go to General → Authorization options in Organization settings to configure domain-based authorization.

Expert Tip: Consistently applying your brand elements across EducateMe helps learners instantly recognize your platform and creates a more engaging learning experience.


Managing platform features

In Organization Settings → Feature Management, you can enable or disable platform features workspace-wide. This lets you hide anything that's not relevant to your learners and keep the experience focused.

Features you can toggle:

  • Knowledge Hub — searchable space for documentation and articles

  • Assignments — the assignments board in the learner side menu

  • Assignment Review with AI — AI-generated draft feedback on submissions

  • Ask AI for learners — the Ask AI button in learner search

  • Learning paths — sequences of courses in a defined order

  • Course libraries — grouped collections of courses learners can browse

  • Files library — central storage for materials shared across courses

  • Community — group channels and direct messages. Does not affect assignment and activity comments.

  • Members — a dedicated page with other learners and instructor profiles.

When a feature is disabled, it's hidden from learners. Existing content (articles, libraries, files) is preserved and comes back if you re-enable it.
