Page Design & StructureAdd a Banner Title

The banner title element contains the page's title and other relevant information such as the course number, module name, etc. If you want to style theme elements individually, use the banner title tool instead of the Themes tool to add and customize a colorful block of text to the top of the page.

Tips for Banner Titles

When creating a course, apply the same banner title style to all pages to give your course a unified look and feel.
When adding content to the banner title block on the page, use the Content panel in the Banner Title tool rather than entering the text directly in the page. These will ensure that you don't accidentally break the underlying code that sets the style for each Banner Title field.
Use the same page heading level (H1 or H2 recommended) for the banner title block on all pages in your course.
Leave the default text in the Prefix 1 and Prefix 2 fields if you are creating a template for use with the Multi-Tool Module Builder. Module Builder will replace these values with your selected module prefix (e.g., Module, Lesson, Week, Topic, etc.) and module number when generating the modules for your course.
