Customize Your ClickUp Workspace

Personalizing your ClickUp Workspace helps your team feel at home and keeps your brand consistent across every project. This guide explains how to customize your Workspace theme, avatar, and branding so your environment matches your company identity.

Before you start with ClickUp customization

Only members with the right permissions can change Workspace-level settings. Typically, you must be the Workspace owner or an admin to update global branding options.

Keep in mind that these changes are applied Workspace-wide, so every member will see the updated visuals when they log into ClickUp.

Open your ClickUp Workspace settings

To manage branding and appearance, first access your Workspace settings from the web app or desktop app.

1. Log into your ClickUp account.

2. In the lower-left corner, click your Workspace avatar or profile area.

3. Select Workspace settings from the menu.

From the settings area, you can adjust the theme, avatar, colors, and sidebar layout that appear for everyone in your Workspace.

Change your ClickUp Workspace name and URL

Your Workspace name and URL are part of your brand identity. Update them so they match your organization.

1. In Workspace settings, look for the section containing your current Workspace name and URL.

2. Click into the Name field and enter the new Workspace name.

3. Click into the Workspace URL or domain field if it is available for editing and adjust it according to your naming standards.

4. Confirm or save your changes.

After the update, members will see the new name at the top of the Workspace and in navigation menus.

Update the ClickUp Workspace avatar

The Workspace avatar is the first visual cue your team sees. Use your company logo or a recognizable image.

1. In Workspace settings, locate the current avatar next to your Workspace name.

2. Hover over or click the avatar image.

3. Select the option to Upload or Change the avatar.

4. Choose an image file from your device. For best results, use a square logo or icon so it appears correctly across ClickUp.

5. Save the change and wait a moment for the image to update across the Workspace.

The new avatar will be visible in the left navigation bar and other places where your Workspace icon appears.

Set a brand color for your ClickUp Workspace

Brand colors help your Workspace feel aligned with your company identity. You can pick a color that matches your official palette.

1. Inside Workspace settings, find the section labeled for brand color or primary color.

2. Click the color swatch to open the color picker.

3. Choose a color from the palette, or enter a HEX code to match your brand guidelines.

4. Preview how the color looks in the interface, then apply or save.

The chosen color appears in various interface elements, which helps reinforce your brand inside ClickUp without affecting core functionality.

Adjust your ClickUp theme and appearance

Theme controls allow you to adapt the overall look and feel of the app, such as light or dark modes and related appearance options.

Select a ClickUp light or dark theme

1. Go to your Settings area from your avatar menu.

2. Open the Theme or Appearance section.

3. Select between available theme modes, such as light, dark, or system-based themes, depending on what is offered in your plan.

4. Apply your selection and confirm.

The interface will refresh using the selected theme while preserving your other Workspace branding settings.

Customize additional ClickUp appearance options

Depending on your active features and plan level, you may see more controls related to interface appearance. Common options include:

• Adjusting accent colors aligned with your brand color.

• Fine-tuning how highlights and backgrounds display on different views.

• Updating individual profile preferences that change how ClickUp looks for you while keeping Workspace branding intact.

Use these options to find the right balance between brand consistency and personal comfort.

Organize the ClickUp sidebar for your team

The sidebar is where members navigate Spaces, Folders, and Lists. A clear layout supports productivity and aligns with your Workspace structure.

1. From the main interface, look at the left-hand sidebar where your Spaces and views are listed.

2. Drag and drop Spaces to reorder them in a logical sequence for your organization.

3. Rename Spaces to reflect departments, teams, or workflows that make sense in the context of your ClickUp Workspace.

4. Hide or collapse areas that are less relevant to most users to keep the sidebar clean.

While this is not strictly visual branding, a well-structured sidebar complements your other customization efforts.

Tips for consistent branding in ClickUp

As you personalize your Workspace, apply these best practices to keep everything consistent and easy to recognize.

• Use official assets: Upload your approved company logo for the avatar and align colors with your brand guide.

• Document standards: Create a simple internal style guide explaining your ClickUp naming rules, colors, and avatar usage.

• Limit frequent changes: Avoid changing the Workspace name, avatar, or colors too often so users can build familiarity.

• Test accessibility: Ensure that chosen colors provide sufficient contrast so text and icons remain easy to read.
