Troubleshooting issues with rebranded portal

Before moving on to troubleshooting issues with rebranded portals, let's take a quick overview of what Rebranding is all about in Zoho Desk.

Rebranding in Zoho Desk 

In Zoho Desk, we have a functionality called Rebranding under General Settings. This functionality enables users with the Administrator privilege to rebrand their Help Desk according to their needs. There are several activities involved within this functionality:

Description
Uploading the company logo
You can replace the Zoho Desk logo with your company logo. The personalized company logo will appear for all the agents within the support portal and your customers in the Help Centers.
Customizing the favicon and link-back URL
With a logo-linkback URL, you can redirect your customers to a specific page while clicking your logo in the Help Center. With Favicon, you can also display your favorite icon in the address bar of a browser while accessing your Help Desk.




Domain Mapping
With domain mapping, you can provide customer support from your own domain within Zoho Desk.




Portal Name
The portal name is the address of your Help Desk account in Zoho Desk. With this functionality, you can customize your portal name according to your preference.




Multi-Branding
