Microsoft SharePoint: Create themes in Brand center

We’re bringing a new theme creation experience into the Microsoft SharePoint Brand center, allowing you to easily create and manage themes for your sites and related experiences.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 375495.

When this will happen

Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out early September 2024 and expect to complete by mid-September 2024.

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-September 2024 and expect to complete by mid-October 2024.

How this will affect your organization

With our latest update to the SharePoint Brand center, we are enabling customization through colors. This update introduces a brand color management experience along with a new experience for creating and managing themes for your organization.

The all-new brand color experience allows you to create a standard set of colors for your organization that will be utilized in other experiences. This allows you to seamlessly create and standardize your color options.

You will also be able to create and manage your organization’s themes in the Brand center for SharePoint and Microsoft Viva Connections. With this new theme creation and management experience, you will be able to easily create themes for your organization and make them available in the "Change the look" experience.

Note: Themes previously created with PowerShell will remain outside of this management experience and be managed via PowerShell.

What you need to do to prepare

To use the new brand color and theme experience, you must have previously enabled the SharePoint Brand center in the Microsoft 365 Admin center.
