Creating Co-Branded Collateral Templates

Managers can upload or link collateral from the Magentrix Documents Library to the Playbook gallery.  On the download of co-branded collateral, co-branding logos and company information will automatically be inserted into predefined fields in the collateral document.

Co-branded templates for each collateral file must be uploaded for co-branding to be inserted. Templates must have elements with specific properties to allow an optimized output of co-branded assets.
