Customize a flow

Typically, settings for flows are defined as defaults in the Brand settings. However, it’s important to note that some flows are executed before the specific user is authenticated and thus before authentik can determine which user is viewing the flow (for example, the default-authentication-flow!). Consequently, using default settings for all flows ensures a more consistent user experience.

Two settings that you can configure per flow are the background image for the flow, and the layout.

Customize a flow's background image

You can define a:

• Default background image for all flows, set in the instance's brand
• A background image for one or more specific flows (overrides the default)

Set the layout for a flow

To define the layout for a flow, edit the flow and under Appearance settings > Layout select how the UI displays the flow when it is executed; with stacked elements, content left or right, and sidebar left or right.
