Logo, colours, hive name and AI features
Your hive’s logo, brand colour, name and web address, and whether AI features are on, are set up by Hives. You can’t change them in the app. Email help@hives.co and Hives will make the change for you.
Who can do this: Admins ask Hives for changes.
What Hives sets up for you
| Setting | What to send |
|---|---|
| Logo | Your logo as an SVG or image file. Send a version for dark backgrounds too if you have one. |
| Brand colour | The colour code, for example #1A73E8. |
| Hive name | The name as it should appear in the app and in emails. |
| Web address | The short name in your hive’s address, for example app.hives.co/yourcompany. |
| AI features | Whether you want them on or off. |
Note: if your hive’s web address changes, old links to your hive and its collections stop working. Shared links and QR codes would need to be shared again.
Where your branding appears
- Logo: in the top bar, on your hive’s sign-in page and on shared pages, such as a collection’s share link. In dark mode Hives uses your dark logo. If you have no logo, or no dark version, the Hives logo is shown instead.
- Brand colour: used for buttons and highlights across your hive.
- Hive name: in the app and in emails.
- Emails: every email Hives sends for your hive comes from your hive’s name and shows your logo. This includes sign-in codes, invitations and notifications.
What you can change yourself
As an Admin, you can change these in the app:
- The Home page cover image, welcome text and layout. See How to edit the Home page.
- The message on your sign-in page. See Hive settings: access, sign-in and the login page.
- A collection’s cover and title, through the collection’s own settings. See How to change a collection’s title, cover and thank-you message.
AI features
AI features in Hives include:
- Ida, the AI assistant, for Admins and Managers. See What is Ida?
- AI summaries of a collection. See AI summaries of a collection.
- AI summaries of survey answers. See Survey results, results link, export and AI summaries.
One switch controls them all. When AI is off, none of these features work for anyone, Admins included. Earlier Ida chats are kept, but nothing is sent to the AI.
To turn AI features on or off, contact help@hives.co. To learn what Ida can see and how your data is handled, see What Ida can see and how your data is handled.
Language
There is no hive-wide language setting. Each person chooses English or Svenska for themselves in Settings. Emails from Hives are in English. See Your profile, language and dark mode.
