Look and Feel Management

Look and feel management allows you to customize the user experience in AvePoint Cloud Governance. These settings let you control how information is displayed, adjust terminology and navigation, and apply branding elements, helping create a consistent and intuitive experience for end users.

Configure End User Experience for Renewal and Confirm Governance Details Tasks

You can configure which interface end users will see when processing renewal and confirm governance details tasks using the new MyHub experience.

To configure the end user experience setting, click the Experience setting for renewal and confirm governance details tasks card on the System settings page. Then, you can choose one of the end user experiences from the panel:

- **Classic experience (default)** – The classic SharePoint permission review experience. - **New SharePoint permission review experience** – The new streamlined SharePoint permission review interface, enabling easily review, modify, and revoke site permissions.

Click Save to save your configuration.

Configure Global System Settings

Global system settings allow you to set up the display language, time zone, and date and time formats for business users who have not yet initiated their AvePoint Cloud Governance service. You can also allow business users to personalize these settings directly within the Teams app in addition to the Cloud Governance Portal.

To configure global system settings, click the Global system settings card on the System settings page, and complete the following configurations:

- **Language** – Choose whether to **Follow personal browser and Teams app language settings** or **Predefine the display language**. If you choose to predefine the display language, select the language from the drop-down list. > [!NOTE] > The Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, and Dutch languages are only available within the Cloud Governance Portal. If one of these languages is selected, the admin center will be displayed in English. - **Time zone** – Choose the display time zone for the system. Note that if there are email references inserted in the notification emails sent by AvePoint Cloud Governance, and the references display the specific time, the time zone used to display the time varies based on the email recipients: - If the email recipient is a group or multiple users, the time zone configured in **Global System Settings** will be applied. - If the email recipient is a single user, the time zone that the user configured in personal settings will be applied. If this user has never signed in to Cloud Governance and the time zone has never been configured in personal settings, the time zone configured in **Global System Settings** will be applied. - **Date and time formats** - Set up the date and time format using one of the following methods. - **Follow personal browser and Teams app date and time format setting** – With this option selected, you can select the alternate date and time formats to be used in the email notifications to users and groups who have not yet initiated the Cloud Governance service. - **Predefine date and time formats** – With this option selected, select the desired date and time formats from the drop-down list. - **Teams** **app personal settings** – Choose whether to **Allow users to change personal settings** **within MyHub Teams app** or **Hide** **personal settings from MyHub teams app and follow Teams settings**. If you allow users to change personal settings in the Teams app, users’ personal settings in the Teams app will be synchronized with the personal settings in the Cloud Governance Portal. If you hide personal settings in the Teams app, the language will follow users’ Teams app language, and the time zone will follow users’ personal settings in the Cloud Governance Portal.

When you complete, click Save on the ribbon to save your configurations.

Configure Metadata Description Display Settings

You can configure how to display the description of the metadata on request forms for business users.

To configure the metadata description display settings, click the Metadata description display settings card on the System settings page. Then, you can choose one of the metadata description display methods from the Metadata description display settings panel:

- **Display the description via tooltip – Business users need to hover the mouse over a metadata to see it on request forms** - **Display metadata description directly on request forms**

You can manage the display of both the navigation menu in the Cloud Governance Portal and tabs in the MyHub Teams app.

To access MyHub navigation menu management, click the MyHub navigation menu management card on the System settings page.

- **To-do list** – By default, in the Cloud Governance Portal, the **Home** item is on the top of the left navigation menu; in the MyHub Teams app, the **Home** tab is the leftmost one. When the **Home** is not the top/leftmost one after your configuration, it will be displayed as **To-do list**. - **Workspaces** - **My guest users** - **Hubs** – End users can see **Hubs** on the left navigation menu in the Cloud Governance Portal when the hub’s functionality is enabled for the tenant. You can enable the hub’s functionality in **Settings** > **Hub settings**. - **My tasks** - **Requests** - **Start a** **request**

You can decide whether to show the following items on the navigation menu or the Teams app tab. Turn on the toggle (Button: The toggle that is turned on.) under the Shown column to show an item or turn off the toggle (Button: The toggle that is turned off.) to hide an item:

- **My guest users** - **Start a request** - **Hubs** - **Workspaces**

You can choose whether to Display quick requests on the navigation menu. With this option enabled, click Add to add specific services that will display as quick requests in the portal. Select one or more services in the Add Service panel and click Add to list. You can also delete a service already added to the list by clicking the delete (Button: Delete) button.

To configure the Display quick links on the navigation menu (New MyHub only) setting, click the AvePoint Online Services > MyHub general settings link to configure it in the MyHub admin center. For details, refer to General Settings.
