Tip: The button styles are pulling from the Design Editor located in Design > Design Editor. To update button styles across your site, click the published design to edit. Scroll to the bottom of the Typography section (located in a tab on the left) to update the button styles and then save your changes.

Step 4: Users Complete The Form

When users complete the form, then the information in the form transmits back to Content > Ad Manager > Sponsors & Advertisers.

Tip: If the same sponsors tend to come back year after year, you may want to create a Renewal Catalog. A catalog will allow a renewing sponsor to pay the fee without re-submitting all of their company's information and creating a duplicate profile within StarChapter.
