This release introduces Department Message Branding to the LMS.
This release introduces Department Message Branding, allowing multi-tenant customers to tailor their message branding for each Department.
Explore this exciting new feature in Absorb Academy! Learn how to configure Message Branding for Departments in your Portal!
Who's affected: All Portals. This feature is most relevant to multi-tenant customers running multiple brands, regions, or subsidiaries within a single Portal.
Default state: All Departments inherit their branding, contact details, and sender identity from the Portal by default. No behavior changes for Departments without an override configured.
Admin control: Requires the Manage Message Branding permission. Admins without this permission will not see the Message Branding option.
Departments can now customize their messages branding, contact details, and sender identity independently of the Portal default, and independently of any Parent Department.

Branding
The Branding section controls the visual appearance of messages sent to Learners in the Department. A Brand Source toggle determines where these values come from:
- Use Learner Theme Branding: Base color, Highlight color, and Message header logo are read-only and inherited from the Department's Learner Theme.
- Use Custom Message Branding: Base color, Highlight color, and Message header logo become editable for this Department only. The logo can either be uploaded to the LMS or linked from a URL.
Footer Text is always editable, regardless of Brand Source, and supports the {{Company Name}} placeholder.
When uploading or linking a Message header logo, files must be PNG, JPG, or SVG format, up to 600 KB. The recommended dimensions are 620 x 312 pixels.
- More information can be found in the Department Message Branding and Department Creation & Management articles.
