This Custom Code area allows you to add content to the top of every Tiki page. This could be used for site logo, banner advertisements, or anything else.
Note
If you add a site logo or search bar in the Custom code area, be sure to disable the Site Logo and Site Search options on the Administration: Site Identity page — there's no need to duplicate the content.
