You can add a cover slide that will appear as the first slide a learner sees when starting a course. The cover slide can include a headline statement, short course description, and an image. Additionally, you can set a background color and adjust the image opacity. The image can also be used as the background image for course cards in the Learning Library. If enabled by a Bridge admin, content branding styles will be applied by default.
Image Considerations
• Maximum dimensions for cover slides should be approximately 2500 x 1600 pixels at 72 ppi.
• The ideal image should have high contrast with either white or black text. If contrast cannot be achieved with the image alone, use the opacity slider with a light/dark background color to make the contrast greater between text and background.
Note: Some features may be restricted based on permissions for your user role.

Enable Dark Mode
The background color defaults to white, or indigo if in dark mode. The primary color defaults to content branding styles (if enabled), or blue (hex color #3B9DFF). Dark mode changes the company logo (if enabled by a Bridge admin) and text color on the cover slide to white for easier reading on a dark background. If you have a reverse logo uploaded as part of your content branding, dark mode will use the reverse logo for the cover slide instead of your primary logo.
To enable dark mode, click the Dark Mode toggle [1]. The toggle will change from an X (off) to a checkmark (on). As you make changes, you can preview what users will see in the preview pane [2].
Bridge automatically saves your changes, however, you must republish your course before users can see your changes. View the save status at any time in the header [3].
