Themes and branding
The org-wide theme is the palette, type scale and spacing every template inherits. Setting it once, before your authors start work, is the difference between consistent documents and thirty templates with thirty shades of blue. You need Sliick_Docs_Admin to change it.
Set the theme
Section titled “Set the theme”Open the Sliick Docs app from the App Launcher and click Settings. The Brand & theme panel controls the palette every template inherits.
| Setting | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Brand primary / secondary / accent | #1F5FBF / #475569 / #00A1E0 | Pickable as brand.primary / brand.secondary / brand.accent in any colour picker. |
| Body colour / body size | #1C1C1C / 11 pt | Default text colour and size for body copy. |
| Heading colour | #1C1C1C | Default heading colour. |
| Heading size H1 / H2 / H3 | 24 / 20 / 16 pt | Heading-level defaults. |
| Spacing: tight / normal / spacious | 4 / 8 / 16 pt | The three named spacing presets every block’s Spacing control uses. |
When a theme change takes effect
Section titled “When a theme change takes effect”Theme changes take effect the next time a template is published. Existing releases keep the theme they were published with, so historical documents remain reproducible even after a rebrand.
In a template, a colour set as a theme reference (brand.primary, theme.headingColor) tracks the theme; a colour typed as a hex code is a literal one-off and does not. Proofs and previews are compiled with the template’s own theme override, so what you approve is what the template publishes.
Note: bundle Word output uses the org default theme. Single-template Word output honours a per-template theme override. See Word output.
Two things worth knowing about the Settings page
Section titled “Two things worth knowing about the Settings page”- Every text or number setting can be reset to its packaged default with one action, and a reset row reads as Inherited, so it is always obvious when a value is coming from the default layer rather than from an override you set.
- Each card on the page saves and validates its own settings only, so changing a brand colour is never refused because of an unrelated setting elsewhere on the page.
