Manage workspace theming and colour schemes

This page explains how to create and manage colour schemes, set the workspace’s default theme, and set the workspace logo and favicon. You manage all three from the Theming menu in Platform Administration.

To open it, select ⚙️ Administration from the bottom-left navigation, then select Theming. The Theming menu has two areas: Workspace Theming and Colour Schemes.

A colour scheme is a named set of colours. Colour Schemes is where you create and manage these schemes; search by name to filter the list. Workspace Theming is where you apply one as the workspace default and set the logo and favicon.

Create a colour scheme

  1. Select Colour Schemes.

  2. Select Add Colour Scheme.

  3. Enter a name for the scheme, replacing the New Colour Scheme placeholder.

  4. Set the colours for the scheme:

    • Primary

    • Colour on Primary

    • Secondary

    • Colour on Secondary

    • Text Colour

    • Background

    Default colours are provided, which you can change.

  5. Review the Accessibility Checker as you set the colours.

    The checker updates as you change a colour. A double tick indicates a colour combination meets accessibility standards. An ( ! ) marker indicates a combination that does not; select it to view the details of the failure.

  6. To preview the scheme before saving, turn on the preview toggle. The colour changes preview live across the platform.

  7. Save the colour scheme.

The scheme is added to the list on the Colour Schemes page.

Edit a colour scheme

  1. From Colour Schemes, select the scheme you want to change.

  2. Update the colour values.

  3. Save your changes.

Use the preview toggle to check your changes before saving.

Delete a colour scheme

  1. From Colour Schemes, select the … menu for the scheme you want to remove.

  2. Select Delete.

  3. From the confirmation, select Confirm to delete the scheme, or cancel to keep it.

You cannot delete the scheme set as the workspace default. Its Delete option is unavailable.

Set the workspace default theme

  1. Select Workspace Theming. The current colour scheme is shown. By default, this is the Storyteq colour scheme.

  2. Open the Colour Scheme drop-down. All available schemes are listed, with the current default marked by a ✓.

  3. Select a scheme. A preview is shown.

  4. Select Save to apply it.

If you leave the page with unsaved changes, a warning lets you stay and save, or discard the changes.

Set the workspace logo and favicon

The favicon displays at the top of the left-hand navigation when it is collapsed. The logo displays in the same place when the navigation is expanded.

  1. Select Workspace Theming.

  2. Under Main Logo or Favicon, select Choose Asset.

  3. In the asset picker, search for the asset you want.

  4. Select the asset, then select Select. The picker closes and the logo or favicon is applied, with the asset name shown next to its thumbnail.

To replace or remove a logo or favicon, use its action buttons.
