[Music] Empowering more team members to create Foleon Docs makes content creation quick and scalable. When adding more creators to the mix, you want to make sure your Docs are always fully on-brand, no matter who creates them. In this lesson, I’ll show you how to set up the brand kit in your workspace, and govern your brand without needing to check every detail in every Foleon Doc. By the end of this lesson, you’ll understand in which ways the Brand Kit helps your creators, and will be ready to set up yours! Now, What exactly do we mean by a Brand Kit? You can view the Brand Kit as a template for your branding. By setting up the Brand Kit, you are able to apply this styling, globally, to all Docs within that specific workspace. Your brand styling, such as your colors, text and buttons, are automatically applied to all new Docs. This saves creators a bunch of time since they won’t need to manually set the brand theme for each Foleon Doc. With all the time saved by the Brand Kit, you can focus on creating more inspiring content. So, What can creators do with the Brand Kit? It depends on the privileges of their user role. When they create a new Foleon Doc, the brand kit is automatically applied. This means that your styling is set for all new Docs. All templates dragged and dropped onto the Doc in the Editor will also follow the global styling set on the Brand Kit They can apply the Brand Kit to existing Docs, as well, by overriding the Theme settings. It’s good to know that Theme settings can still be accessed and adjusted at any time Do be aware that applying the Brand Kit and therefore overriding theme settings of a particular Doc can’t be undone. But don’t worry — you’ll be informed of this on the spot and you can either proceed or cancel. You may be wondering, When is it a good time to override Theme settings? It’s most important when the Doc isn’t aligned with the brand styling configured in your Brand Kit. There are lots of benefits from having a properly set up Brand Kit! You can set it up, update it, or delete the Brand kit in your workspace at any time. Let’s start by setting up your Brand Kit, we will do this from the dashboard. In this panel, you can add the styling you want to be used on all new Docs, following the brand guidelines of your organization. Let’s say I’m setting up a new workspace for Foleon. I need the brand guide to refer to, to make sure all colors, text styling, and other brand elements are correct. Our brand guide is (of course) a Foleon Doc. I can copy Hex codes of our brand colors from here. When you’re done applying everything, remember to save your Brand Kit. From then on, it will be applied as default branding to any new Doc created within the workspace. You can always go back and update your Brand kit, From then on, it will be applied as default branding to any new Doc created. However, existing Docs will require you to override the themes to apply the newest brand styling. Remember how we overrode the theme settings on a Doc level? It is as easy as a click of a button, literally! If needed, you can also delete a Brand Kit. However, be aware that new Docs created after the deletion won’t have a branded styling applied, you will need to update the themes manually. In Summary, Set up the brand kit to empower others to create content that’s on brand by default. Saving you and your team a lot of time! You can always edit or delete the brand kit, at any time. Remember to ‘Apply Brand Kit’ in the theme settings of each existing Doc to override it with the newest version! Do Be careful though: Applying the Brand Kit to a Doc and therefore overriding theme settings can’t be undone. For that reason, you’ll be asked to confirm your action on the spot and can either proceed or cancel it. Make use of the Brand kit to empower quick and easy creation of Foleon Docs that are always on-brand. Good luck and thanks for watching! [Music]
