Duration: 5 minutes

🏠 Incorporating your branding

Adding colours

Fonts

💡 Tip: if your organisation has proprietary images not covered by Creative Commons, you can still use them in your lessons. While teachers can save your lessons, they cannot download or copy the images, ensuring they remain within LessonUp.

⚠️ Note: avoid using images showing identifiable people unless you have their permission.

COVER slide

Make sure the lesson title is clearly visible: place it in the middle, top-left or top-right corner, avoiding the yellow banner in the bottom-left. This is the first thing teachers will see! Check the example alongside.

✏️ Keep It neat & User-Friendly

Copy and Paste Components
Reusing a component on multiple slides? Keep its size and position consistent for a tidy appearance. Right-click on a component, select Copy component and paste it on the desired slide. Red alignment lines will help you position elements accurately.
