Finding the Brand Kit
Open the deck and switch to Layout Mode.
In the toolbar on the right, click the Brand Kit button — the one with the swatchbook icon.
The Brand Kit panel opens along the side of the editor.
Don't see the button? Brand Kit needs to be turned on for this deck first. Reach out to your DIGIDECK contact if the panel isn't showing up.
The five tabs
A dropdown at the top of the panel splits everything into five groups:
Tab | What you'll set there |
Color | Your brand palette — primary, secondary, background, header, text, accent and overlay colors |
Text | Your brand fonts and standard heading/paragraph sizes |
Graphics | Your logos and brand imagery |
Videos | Brand video, background video, intro video, loader video |
Options | A few extra shared settings, like border size and radius |
Each tab lists its values with an editor right there — a color swatch for colors, an image picker for graphics, a text box for text — so you can change things without opening anything else.
What each value is for
Colors
Value | What it's for |
Primary | Main brand color, buttons and focal color. Must contrast the background. |
Secondary | Complementary to primary and contrasts background. |
Background | Color used for content background. Contrasts primary and secondary. |
Header | Color to highlight header text. Must contrast background. |
Text | Color of text. Must contrast background. |
Accent | Highlight color that can be used for extra design elements. |
Overlay Color | Color that overlays components in the background of a slide. |
Contrast matters here: Header, Text and Primary all need to stay readable against Background. If you set several of these to shades of the same color, slides can go unreadable everywhere at once.
Text
Brand Font 1 through Brand Font 5 — your brand's typefaces. Font 1 is normally the headline face and Font 2 the body face.
Heading sizes — largest to smallest.
Paragraph sizes — for body and supporting text.
Graphics
Value | What it's for |
Primary Logo | Main brand logo used across materials. |
Alt Logo | Alternate version of the primary logo — useful for light vs. dark backgrounds. |
Small Logo | Compact logo for small spaces like navigation. |
Alt Small Logo | Alternate compact logo for small placements. |
Background Image | Branded image used as a template background. |
Background Graphic | Graphic or pattern used to add background texture. |
Brand Photo 1–6 | Brand images for foreground content — one for each layout size. |
Videos
Value | What it's for |
Brand Video | Default brand video (sizzle or product) used in video components. |
Background Video | Looping video used to add motion to backgrounds. |
Intro Video | Brand intro video used at the start of presentations. |
Loader Video | Branded video used for the presentation loader. |
Options
Border Size and Border Radius — the standard edge treatment used on cards, buttons and dividers throughout the deck.
Setting a value
Open the panel, find the tab, find the value, click into its editor, and set it. The preview updates live as you type, so you can see the change land on the slide in front of you before committing to it.
Brand Kit changes save with the deck's normal save — so don't navigate away mid-edit and assume it stuck.
Linking a component to the Brand Kit
Setting a value in the panel is only half of it. For a slide to actually follow the brand, the component on that slide has to be linked to the value — not just holding a color or image that happens to look the same.
Colors — click into any color picker on a component. Your brand colors show up under a "Brand Colors" heading above the regular palette. Click one to link it. If you pick "Use Custom Color" instead, that component won't update when the brand value changes.
Fonts — open the font dropdown on a text component. Your brand fonts appear under "Brand Kit Fonts" at the top. Choosing one links it.
Images — open the image picker on a component. Look for a "Brand Kit" tab — logos and brand images live there. Selecting one links it.
Numbers and text (border size, font size, a tagline, etc.) — click into the field and a "Brand Options" list will appear if there are matching values to link to.
How to tell if something's linked: a linked field looks different from a typed one. Click into it and check the options menu — if you see "Edit Brand Kit Key Link" or "Remove Link," it's connected. If you don't see those options, it's just a custom value.
To undo a link: choose "Remove Link" from that menu. The component keeps whatever value it was showing, but stops following the Brand Kit from then on — useful if one component genuinely needs a one-off look.
Keep in mind
A value change reaches every presentation built from this deck. That's the feature working as designed — it's what keeps everything on-brand automatically. But it also means this isn't the place for a one-off tweak "just for this one pitch." If you need something different for a single presentation, check with your DIGIDECK contact.
Questions that come up
I changed a value but a slide still shows the old one.
That property probably isn't linked yet — it's holding a typed value that happened to match. Open it and pick the value from "Brand Colors," "Brand Kit Fonts," the "Brand Kit" image tab, or "Brand Options," depending on the field type, so it follows the Brand Kit from now on.
Can I set different brand values for just one presentation?
Not through the Brand Kit itself — those values apply to every presentation built from this deck, by design. For a single component that genuinely needs to look different, use "Remove Link" on that property and set a custom value instead.
