Introduction
Customers have frequently requested more customization options for their login pages within Docebo. They've noticed the value of our external catalog pages and have often wished for a way to bring custom login pages to the forefront. This guide addresses this need by providing an example login page (HTML and CSS), as used by Docebo University, along with the necessary CSS to ensure this page displays as your login page.
An added benefit of using the public catalog is the ability to send users directly to course enrollment pages without requiring them to log in. This visibility can enhance your platform's prominence in external communications. For those concerned about protecting content while using the public catalog feature, rest assured—there's no need to worry.
Enabling the Public Catalog
To utilize this process, you will need to enable the public catalog. Note that this allows your course catalog to be visible externally, though with some critical considerations detailed below.
