How do I upload and manage banners using Signite?
Signite lets you upload banners to a purpose built module.
Some email providers may block dynamic banners when receiving emails.
For these specific cases, Signite provides an option to link to images hosted externally and use them instead of the default module.
When creating a new banner, you may choose between an Internal banner (1) or External one (2) based on your need.
See the steps below for more:
1. Internal banner creation
1.1. Choose the Internal banner option
1.2. Set a name for the banner.
1.3. Upload the banner image (take note of the recommended sizes).
1.4. Choose the banner’s size from the available options
Choose the banner’s size from the available options.
Larger PNG and JPG images will be resized to the chosen option.
GIF images must be uploaded in the exact size listed, as it will not be resized.
Note: Retina screens require that you upload the image in double the final size in order to not appear blurred.

3. Assigning banners to your template
Once you’ve created a template using the Template Creation Guide, you may choose to add the banner created in this guide to your newly created template. To do that, go to your template, and under the Banners field, click the Add Banners button
A pop up window will appear, which will allow you to choose from your banners and assign them to the template.
You can choose up to 3 banners to assign to each template.
You can also change the order of the banners by dragging the banner to its position after adding it.
After choosing your banners, update the template.
Depending on whether the template is already assigned and deployed to a user, it may prompt a new deployment upon update.
4. Assigning banners to a user
Assigning a banner to a single user can be done from the user’s editing screen, by opening the User Banners menu and choosing the banners to show only on that specific user’s signature
