Shared Themes in Team Projects
- When you apply a custom theme to a project, it becomes visible as a Shared Theme to all collaborators in that project.
- Shared themes help teams stay aligned on styling without needing to duplicate work.
- All collaborators in the project can apply and edit a shared theme.
Note: Shared themes are visible only within the specific project they were applied to. Custom themes are available across all your projects.
The same create, edit, name, and share steps also apply to Text Themes and Effects Themes.
