Summary
Configuring a theme in Content Experiences For User Community (CXUC) enables you to customize your brand’s colors, typography, and the design of the top and side navigation bars for your Guides and Landing Pages.
Who?
This feature/solution requires your Customer Success Contact to enable, but then individual permissions can be done by the Bynder Admin.
Once enabled users with the Manage Portal Look & Feel permission can set a theme.
Note: Only one theme will be available if you're using the basic package of CXUC. Guides and Landing Pages have a default Bynder theme, which cannot be edited or removed.
Why?
Applying a theme ensures content aligns with your brand identity or campaign. Once your brand colors are set, you can easily reuse them across all of the solutions.
For organizations managing multiple brands or campaigns with distinct user identities, you can create separate themes to apply unique styles to each. Users can duplicate and modify an existing theme as needed, saving time and effort.
