Salesforce Branding is a feature that will help you customize your Salesforce app’s appearance, including the loading page background color, loading page logo, and header background color. In other words, your Salesforce app matches your company’s branding.
Step 1: Check your Salesforce edition
Before you start with the domain change, make sure that you have the required editions so that you will be able to change the domain.
| Salesforce mobile app setup available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience |
| Salesforce Classic setup available in all editions except Essentials and Database.com |
| Lightning Experience setup available in Group, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions |
Step 2: Check your user permissions
| USER PERMISSIONS NEEDED | |
|---|---|
| View Salesforce app branding settings: | View Setup and Configuration |
| Modify Salesforce app branding settings: | Customize Application
Modify All Data |
Step 3: Enable Documents object
Salesforce Classic
In Salesforce Classic, images stored for branding needs to be placed in the folder Salesforce Branding Resources in the Documents object. Therefore, the Documents object must be enabled for your organization.
Salesforce Lightning
Images stored for branding needs to be placed in the Files object. Also, no other permissions need to be set up.
Salesforce Mobile
If users of the Salesforce mobile web want to see the custom branding, Documents must be enabled for your organization. Also, for Salesforce for Android and Salesforce for iOS, users must have “Read” user permissions on Documents.
Step 4: My Domain enablement
My Domain needs to be enabled before you start the Salesforce Branding. This means that you need to have a subdomain activated for your Salesforce org. Therefore, we suggest that you read this article How to: My Domain set up in Salesforce before you start with the Salesforce Branding.

Consideration Tips
In conclusion, it’s highly advisable to consider the following tips when customizing the branding of the Salesforce App:
- Be sure to compress your logo image before you upload it to your app.
- Verify that your logo appears correctly on all devices.
- Salesforce supports .png, .gif and .jpg formats but it is recommended that you always upload a .png version because it provides the best results.
- UI elements that cannot be customized:
- Salesforce app icon that appears on the mobile device’s home screen.
- The initial loading screen when launching Salesforce for iOS.
- Mobile users must close the app and then login again to see the custom branding changes.
- When a user switches between two orgs that have custom branding loading pages, they see the loading page for the previous org until the branding for the new org is available.

Long time supporter, and thought I’d drop a comment.
Your wordpress site is very sleek – hope you don’t mind
me asking what theme you’re using? (and don’t mind if I steal it?
:P)
I just launched my site –also built in wordpress like yours– but the theme slows (!) the
site down quite a bit.
In case you have a minute, you can find it by searching for “royal cbd” on Google (would
appreciate any feedback) – it’s still in the works.
Keep up the good work– and hope you all take care of yourself during the coronavirus scare!
I do not know if it’s just me or if perhaps everyone else experiencing
issues with your blog. It appears as though some of
the text on your posts are running off the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them too?
This may be a problem with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
Thanks
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. It’s possible that the issue you are experiencing with the text running off the screen could be related to your internet browser. I would recommend trying to access the blog on a different browser or clearing your cache and cookies to see if that helps resolve the issue. Additionally, if other readers are experiencing the same issue, please do let me know so that I can investigate and make the necessary changes to improve the user experience. Thank you again for your feedback, it’s much appreciated.
