You can customize the UX settings for your SideDrawer environment, to tailor the platform to your clients' needs.

In the SideDrawer Console, select Settings > Affiliates
Choose the Affiliate to customize, and click on the 3 dots at the right, then select Manage Client UX

The UX menu contains a variety of settings - keep in mind that these affect all SideDrawers for that affiliate, which may be all the SideDrawers in your environment.

Google/Gmail, Apple ID, Salesforce, Salesforce (Sandbox), Salesforce Communities, Facebook
