Editing tiles

To customise a tile:

1. Click on a Tile to edit the name, image and background colour
   • When editing the Tile Name we recommend adopting your company's terminology, for example, My HR could become Personal Details or My Work could become My Schedule, etc
   • When choosing a tile image, ensure the heading remains clear and easy to read. Avoid busy images or black and white imagery, as they can make text harder to see.
