Learn about the UI Builder experience settings to build your own workspace and custom portal experiences.

By changing the settings of the workspace or portal experience that you're working in, you can affect how your users interact with the experience, how the experience looks, and how users navigate to and from the experience.

Before you can edit the experience settings, you must be in the correct application scope. If you're in a different scope, the experience settings are read-only. To change your application scope, go to the main header, select the application picker (Application picker.), and then select the application scope that you want. For more information about the application scope, see Learn about security and roles.

Workspace experience settings

You can change these settings for your workspace experience:
  • Modify or add some general settings for your experience. For example, you can change the title, description, and the path of the workspace or portal.
  • Apply your organization's branding to all pages in your experience or to a page within your experience.
  • Configure your side navigation settings to add pages to the side navigation in your experience.
  • Turn on or turn off the notifications for your experience.
  • You can change the global search settings for your experience. For example, you can choose to show or hide the search bar in your experience or change the search source that determines where the search results come from.

Portal experience settings

You can change these settings for your portal experience:
  • Modify or add general settings for your experience. For example, you can change the title, the description, and the path of the workspace or portal.
  • Apply your organization's branding to all of the pages in your experience or to a page within your experience.
  • Set up the navigation and menu settings in the app shell of your portal experience. The app shell, which is the wrapper of the portal contents, is similar to a Google Chrome web page.
  • Control whether the global search functionality is visible to the users of your portal experience. For example, you can enable or disable the global search for either your public or private pages.
