In the sidebar, open **Administration**, then choose **Branding** under **Company**, and scroll to **Preset Library**. The page address is `/settings/org/branding`.

A preset is a saved set of top bar and sidebar colours. **Nova Presets** are built in; **Shared Presets** are the ones your organization saves.

## Before you start

- Your admin has to give your role permission to write branding to apply a preset, and shared preset access to create, copy, rename or delete one. The **Shared Presets** card at the top of the page tells you what you can do.
- If the card says shared presets are disabled, your plan does not include saving your own presets. You can still apply a Nova preset.

## Steps

To start from a preset:

1. Click anywhere on a preset card. The card shows **Selected** and the **Live preview** updates. Nothing is saved yet.
2. Adjust any colours you want to change (see [[set-your-workspace-colors]]).
3. Press **Save changes** at the top of **Workspace Theme**.

To save your current colours as a preset:

1. Press **Save Current As Preset**.
2. Type a **Preset name** and press **Save preset**. The preset appears under **Shared Presets**.

To copy, rename, update or delete a shared preset, use the buttons on its card:

- **Copy** asks for a new name; **Create copy** makes a second preset from the same starting point. Nova presets can be copied too.
- **Rename** opens **Rename preset**; type the new name and press **Save name**.
- **Edit** switches the editor into that preset. Change the colours, then press **Update preset**; **Stop editing** leaves the preset as it was.
- **Delete** removes the preset from the library once you confirm with **Delete preset**.

## What you see

- The card whose colours match what is in the editor right now is marked **Selected**.
- The library shows the variant you are editing (**Light variant** or **Dark variant**); switch variants to compare the other look.
- Preset changes are recorded in the audit log.

## If something looks different

- **Save Current As Preset** is missing: your role can view presets but not manage them, or shared presets are not in your plan.
- A preset card cannot be selected: your role cannot change branding. Ask your admin.
- The colours changed in the preview but your team still sees the old ones: selecting a preset only previews. Press **Save changes**.
