This article will guide you through configuring the parent homepage from the form settings area.
Navigate to Settings > Form Settings > Parent Homepage.
All parents will see the General Welcome Message on their respective homepages and will need to accept the privacy policies if those settings are enabled.
To change your message and/or image, click the 'Edit' button on the right-hand side of the page. You can also click 'Preview' to see how the form will appear to a parent.
File Upload Guidelines:
- You can upload files with a maximum size of 25MB per file.
