Whatfix enables you to customize a Beacon and the accompanying text to match the style of your application.
Customization is done at two levels:
- Account level
- Beacon level
Each Whatfix Beacon has unique properties, such as style and color, distinct from the account-level settings.
For example, while all Beacons in your account could be styled as Radial by default, a specific Beacon can be customized to a Custom style to highlight a new update.
The account level configuration for Beacons is available by default. To enable Beacon level configuration, contact support@whatfix.com.

- On the Whatfix Guidance dashboard, click Style.
