Set the colors, style and background

Version 2026.11 Reading time: 4 min Permission required: Company / branch configuration and Customize documents

In the CUSTOMIZE workshop, three blocks set the visual identity of your documents: Colors, Document style and Background. All settings are made in edit mode and are saved together.

Before you start, open Company preferences, CUSTOMIZE tab, then click Edit profile (see Customize the appearance of your documents).

Choose the colors

The Colors block offers two areas of the document, each with a Primary and a Secondary color:

  • Header and body;
  • Footer.
  1. Click the color swatch to change. The Choose a color window opens.

  2. Click a color in the grid, or enter its value in Hexadecimal Code (for example #FF0000, with the # and 6 characters).

  3. Click Save. The document preview updates.

To match the colors of your brand guidelines exactly, enter their hexadecimal codes rather than choosing them from the grid.

Choose the document style

The Document style block sets the typography. Until you choose one, the document keeps the Template style.

StyleDescription on screen
ModernClean and readable
CorporateSober and assertive
ElegantSerif headings
TechnicalPrecise, aligned figures

Once a style is chosen, two settings appear:

  • Size: Compact, Standard or Comfortable;
  • Headings: Normal, Semi-bold or Bold.

To get the original typography back, click Back to the template style.

Add a background

  1. In the Background block, click the image thumbnail. In the Change background image window, choose a PNG, JPEG or WebP image, then click Save.

  2. Click the color row to choose a background color.

  3. In the Opacity card, click Image or Color, set the slider from 0 to 100%, then click Validate.

  4. In the Placement on the page panel, choose the Background image layer, then drag and resize the image on the page.

  5. Check the preview, then save with Save, or with Save at the bottom of the screen.

A low opacity keeps the text readable: check the preview before saving.

The background image follows the same rules as the logo: PNG, JPEG or WebP only (Unsupported format: PNG, JPEG or WebP only), 2 MB at most when selected. An image that is too heavy can block saving the whole customization: choose a lighter image.

Changing templates with the Full template option replaces your colors, your background and your style with those of the template. See Choose the template for your documents.
