Design & Setup

Frame the document before you fill it in: the brand it carries and the page it prints on. Everything updates the preview instantly.

TemplateTemplate

Document typePick the kind of document you want to build. Choosing a type starts a fresh, structured template of that type, and your brand and look carry over.

BrandBrand kitManage brand kits ↗

This document uses your workspace brand kit for its logo, colors, and fonts. Add more brand kits to switch between them here.

Primary colorAccent colorText color

Heading fontBody fontBody size (pt)

These apply to this document only and start from the brand kit. To change your brand everywhere, edit the brand kit.

LookDesign look

LookThe overall visual style (spacing, type and accents) across every page. Your template picked a starting look; change it any time. Marketing-oriented looks are hidden because this is a controlled document.

PagePage setup

Page sizeOrientation

Top margin (in)Bottom margin (in)Left margin (in)Right margin (in)

Margins are the whitespace framing the page. Around 0.5″–1″ is standard for print; go much smaller and part of your document may be cut off when it's printed.

Next: add sections, blocks, and your header and footer.
