+This form is used to upload your business logo if you wish to customize the login form or display your logo on reports.
 
 If you do not want to customize the login form and only want a logo for reporting then you would only need to provide the Small sized logo.
 If you provide a Medium or Large sized logo they will automatically be used by the Login form in place of the standard AyaNova logo.
 
 ## Maximum logo file size
-Maximum file size allowed for any logo is 512KiB (512000 bytes) however you should ensure your logo is as small a file size as possible while still maintaining visual quality.  Under 100kb is a good rule of thumb.

 You can use any dimensions that meet your needs, here are some appropriate starting points:

+
+## How to access Seed numbers
+
+From the `Administration` navigation pane [Global settings form](adm-global-settings.md) click on the `Set next seed number` button.
+
+## How seed numbers work
+
+AyaNova works with the PostgreSQL database server to automatically assign serial numbers to AyaNova objects and this setting allows you to change the starting ("seed") number that will be applied to the _next_ record made for that type of object.
+
+The value you see in the seed number form for each type of object is the _next_ number that will be assigned to that object automatically.
+
+### Why change the seed?
+
+It is not necessary to change the seed, however there may be some valid reasons to do so:
+
+Existing numbers - in cases where a manual system or other system was in use it may be helpful to start the new numbers higher than any existing ones to avoid confusion.
+
+No existing numbers / marketing - in cases where there are no prior numbers some companies, particularly new ones, may prefer to start their customer-visible numbers for objects such as quotes to a higher starting number than 1 as they may feel that low numbers could imply that the company is inexperienced.
+
+Reset - over many years the numbers may just become so large that it is more practical to reset them again to a lower starting number. If the number 100 was used 5 years ago it may not matter that it is then re-used as there is no confusion likely.
+
+### Duplicates allowed
 
 AyaNova allows duplicate serial numbers and does not skip existing numbers when generating new ones so if you set it lower than the highest existing record you will end up with multiple objects with the same serial.
 
-i.e. highest po serial is 500, set it to 490 the next po will be serial 490 and there will be two 490's etc.
+### Fixing duplicates / changing object serial numbers
+
+A user with a management level role is allowed to edit the serial numbers on existing objects and change them in their edit forms.
+
+### Allowed number range
+
+Seed numbers must be greater than 0 and less than 3 billion.
+
+### Before you change the seed
+
+The seed numbers displayed in the form are the next seed number that will be assigned in that moment in time that you opened the seed number form. It will not update if more serial numbers are consumed by other users since the form was opened.
+
+Therefore it is important to ensure that **no other users are creating** those types of objects when you make an ajustment to the starting seed in order to avoid duplicates.
