Choosing a Look
Looks are the visual style (spacing, type and accents) that restyle any document. Here are the seven, and when each fits.
A Look is the overall visual style of a document: its spacing, type and accents. You pick one in Step 1: Design & Setup, and you can change it any time; the look restyles whatever content you have without changing the content itself.
The seven looks
| Look | Best for |
|---|---|
| Modern Technical | The balanced, clean everyday default. |
| Corporate | Formal, metadata-forward documents (the default for controlled types). |
| Engineering | Dense, tables-first reference material. |
| Technical Brief | Compact reference styling. |
| Industrial | Bold and utilitarian. |
| Premium Minimal | Spacious and refined (marketing-oriented). |
| Product-Forward | Large imagery, story-led (marketing-oriented). |
Looks and controlled documents
Some document types are controlled (certificates, declarations, safety documents). For those, the two marketing-oriented looks (Premium Minimal and Product-Forward) are hidden, and the most rigid types are limited to a subtle, reference-grade set. When that happens, the editor notes that marketing looks are hidden because the document is controlled.
