# Adding a system message to every page

> [Introduced][ee-1283] in [GitLab Premium][eep] 10.7.

Navigate to the **Admin** area and go to the **Appearance** page.

Under **System header and footer** insert your header message and/or footer message.
Both background and font color of the header and footer are customizable.

You can also apply the header and footer messages to gitlab emails, 
by checking the **Enable header and footer in emails** checkbox. 
Note that color settings will only be applied within the app interface and not to emails

After saving, all GitLab pages will contain the custom system header and/or footer messages:

The GitLab sign in page will also show the header and the footer messages:
