Add your logo, set a color palette, choose typography, and more — helping content creators start quickly. For maximum control, create and manage Brand Kits from the Brand Console to ensure consistent styling across all teams and workspaces.

What is a Brand Kit?
A Brand Kit is your collection of standard fonts, colors, logos, and styling defaults that ensures every Foleon Doc reflects your brand identity from the start. When creating a Brand Kit, you define the brand settings that will be automatically applied to your Foleon Docs.
Instead of adjusting styles manually for each Doc, Admins and Designers can define them once in a Brand Kit. This gives creators a ready-made framework that helps them save time, stay on brand, and focus on the content.
⚠️ Depending on your plan, you can create multiple Brand Kits. If you're interested in adding more Brand Kits to your plan, contact us here.
You can apply Brand Kits in the following places:
- New Foleon Docs — When creating a new Doc from scratch, the styling from the default Brand Kit applies automatically.
- Existing Foleon Docs — You can apply a Brand Kit to existing Docs.
- Templates — When creating a new template in a workspace with a default Brand Kit, the styling will apply to page, block and overlay templates.
- View modes — You can style each view mode (desktop, tablet, and mobile) in a Brand Kit.
💡 You can set global styling for specific elements—such as fonts, buttons, and data elements—for tablet and mobile view modes in your brand settings.
- When you update these elements while in the desktop view mode, the changes apply to desktop, tablet, and mobile views.
- When you update them in the tablet view mode, the changes apply to both tablet and mobile views.
- When you update them in the mobile view mode, the changes apply to mobile view only.
Where to create your Brand Kit: Brand Console or Workspaces
You can create Brand Kits in two places: the Brand Console or individual workspaces. Where you create your Brand Kit depends on how much control or flexibility your team needs.
💡 Not sure where to create your Brand Kit? We recommend starting in the Brand Console for better visibility and control.
Brand Console — for centralized brand control
Create and manage Brand Kits from the Brand Console when you want tight control over your brand styling and governance across all workspaces:
-
Only company-level Admins and Designers can access the Brand Console
-
Brand Kits created here can be assigned to one or more workspaces
-
Workspace users can apply these Brand Kits to Docs, but cannot edit them
➡️ Examples of when to create your Brand Kit in the Brand Console:
- You want one official company brand applied across all workspaces
- You have a central design team that is responsible for branding across all workspaces
-
You want to limit styling edits to company-level Designers
💡 A centrally managed Brand Kit ensures consistency and gives you full oversight as your content scales.
Workspaces — for localized flexibility
Create Brand Kits within individual workspaces when you want teams to have more flexibility or autonomy over styling:
-
Workspace-level Admins and Designers can create and edit Brand Kits within their workspace
-
These Brand Kits are only available within the workspace where they were created
- In the workspace, Brand Kits are labeled by origin — either Brand Console or Workspace
➡️ Examples of when to create your Brand Kit in a Workspace:
-
Regional teams have local branding and their own design team
-
Internal teams want a more informal style
- A campaign-specific workspace requires temporary visual styling
💡 Workspace Brand Kits are ideal when teams need to move fast, experiment with styles, or tailor content without affecting global brand settings.

👀 We recently updated our dashboard! The video may look different, but the steps remain the same. Follow along with the text below for the latest screenshot.
To create a Brand Kit, navigate to either the Brand Console or the workspace where you want to manage styling. Click + Start new Brand Kit.
⚠️ Depending on your plan, you can create multiple Brand Kits. If you're interested in adding more Brand Kits to your plan, contact us here.
You’ll now be in the Brand Kit builder. On the right-hand side of your screen, you'll see the brand settings panel where you can style fonts, buttons, colors, and logos.
📖 For an overview of all the elements you can style, see our article: All about the brand settings
To preview your styling, click Brand in the top bar. This collapses the settings panel so you can view the full page. Click Brand again to reopen the panel and continue editing.
When you're happy with your setup, click Save.
A pop-up window will appear where you can:
- Give your Brand Kit a name
- Choose whether to set it as your default Brand Kit
- Click Save
You can now apply this Brand Kit to your Foleon Docs for consistent styling, saving you time and resources.
If you created your Brand Kit in the Brand Console, continue to the next section: Assigning a Brand Kit to Workspaces.
If you created your Brand Kit in a Workspace, it will now be available for use within that workspace.
If this is the first Brand Kit in your account, it will be automatically set as the default Brand Kit for your workspace(s).
You can edit your Brand Kit at any time by clicking the quick actions menu (three dots) on your Brand Kit. Any updates won't retroactively apply to Docs where the Brand Kit has already been applied. If you delete a Brand Kit, existing Docs that use it will remain unchanged.
Assigning a Brand Kit to Workspaces
If you've created a Brand Kit in the Brand Console, you'll need to assign it to one or more workspaces before it can be used:
Open the Brand Console and navigate to the Brand Kits tab.
Click the quick actions menu (three dots) on your Brand Kit and select Settings.
Under Assign a workspace, choose the applicable workspaces from the dropdown.
Or, if you want your Brand Kit available to all workspaces, toggle on Assign this kit to all current and future workspaces. Click Save.
After the Brand Kit has been assigned:
-
The Brand Kit becomes visible in the selected workspaces
-
Workspace teams can now apply the Brand Kit to their Foleon Docs
-
Only company-level Admins and Designers can edit centrally managed Brand Kits — Workspace teams can use them, but not change them
Duplicate or Move a Brand Kit
You can duplicate any Brand Kit, whether it was created in a workspace or the Brand Console, and move it to another location. This is useful if you want to:
- ♻️ Reuse a Brand Kit in a different workspace
- 🏢 Move a Brand Kit from a workspace to the Brand Console for centralized management
- ↔️ Move a Brand Kit from one workspace to another
To duplicate a Brand Kit, first navigate to the Brand Kit you want to copy or move. Click the quick actions menu (three dots) on your Brand Kit and select Duplicate.
⚠️ If you've reached your Brand Kit limit, you won't be able to duplicate it to the Brand Console. Please contact your Customer Success Manager to explore your options.
Rename the Brand Kit, if needed. Under Workspace, choose where to copy the Brand Kit. You can choose either the Brand Console (recommended) or a workspace. Click Duplicate.
💡 If your goal is to manage a Brand Kit centrally, we recommend duplicating it to the Brand Console. This gives you greater control and allows you to assign it across workspaces.
After duplicating, your new Brand Kit will appear in the destination you selected. If applicable, delete the original Brand Kit.
💡 If you moved your Brand Kit to the Brand Console, don't forget to assign it to your workspace(s).
⚠️ If you want to move a Brand Kit to the Brand Console or another workspace, don't forget to delete the original Brand Kit. If you do not, workspace users will still be able to use the original Brand Kit, leading to confusion.
What happens after you delete the original Brand Kit?
-
Any Foleon Doc that previously used the deleted Brand Kit will retain its styling, but will no longer have a Brand Kit applied
-
If you plan to continue updating those Docs, we recommend applying the new Brand Kit to keep them aligned with your current brand standards
-
All new Docs can be created using the new Brand Kit, or set it as your default for the workspace
Having multiple Brand Kits
If your account supports multiple Brand Kits, content creators can switch between them to ensure content aligns with the right brand identity — whether it’s for different departments, regions, or campaigns.
⚠️ Only select plans include multiple Brand Kits, with a set limit based on your plan. If you're interested in adding more Brand Kits to your account, contact us here.
From the Brand Kit tab in either the Brand Console or a workspace, you can view how many Brand Kits your account currently has and how many remain available.
In the Brand Console, you'll also see a breakdown of how many Brand Kits were created in the Brand Console and on individual workspaces.
The image above shows an account that has 10 available Brand Kits:
- 2 Brand Kits were created in the Brand Console
- 3 Brand Kits were created in workspaces
- 5 Brand Kits are still available
Setting a default Brand Kit
Setting a default determines which Brand Kit is automatically applied on all new Docs.
To set a default, navigate to the Brand Kit tab in either your Brand Console or the workspace.
If you set a Brand Kit from the Brand Console as the default, it will override any workspace-level default that may have been previously set and you will not be able to assign a workspace Brand Kit as the default.
Click the quick actions menu (three dots) on the Brand Kit and select Set as default.
💡 The default Brand Kit will automatically apply to all new Docs in that workspace, but will not retroactively apply to existing Docs.
How to apply a Brand Kit to a Foleon Doc
When you create a new Foleon Doc, the default Brand Kit for your workspace is applied automatically, ensuring your content starts fully on-brand.
You can apply a (new) Brand Kit to any existing Docs to update the styling.
To do so, open the Foleon Doc in the editor. Click Menu > Brand. Select the Brand Kit from the dropdown menu and click Apply Brand Kit.
⚠️ If you apply a new Brand Kit, you'll override the current brand styling and change how your Doc looks. You can't undo this.
Elements that have been styled manually on the canvas (and therefore are no longer linked to the Brand Kit) won't change when you apply a new Brand Kit.
If the Apply Brand Kit button is greyed out, it can mean one of the following:
- A Brand Kit has yet to be set in the dashboard,
- the Brand Kit has already been applied, or
- the current brand settings already match the Brand Kit.
