Select the Program Section row in the Layers tab that appears.
In the Edit sidebar menu to the right, use the

By default, each microsite uses an Advocate branded domain, but you may opt to use a domain you own. See our guide on setting up a domain if you want to use one for your microsite.
By default, we include HTML that sets up a tab icon at the top of your browser tab. You can replace the icon with your company’s logo—if you don’t, the tab will show the default logo. The head element is also where you can insert SEO-related script tags and other branding/styling elements if desired.
From the left navigation menu, select Content.
On the Microsite screen, select the Edit Settings.
Under the Site Hosting heading, find the Head HTML section.
Paste your script and select Save config.
The default microsite has a template applied but should be customized before it’s rolled out to your customer advocates You can customize the layouts, pages, branding, and content of the site.
At a minimum, we recommend:
Customizing the dashboard.
Modifying the brand container.
Customizing the microsite header.
Reviewing the lifecycle email templates.
Editing page content.
See our doc on Customizing Microsite Layouts and Pages an in-depth look at how to do these and more.
