[Publisher] Brand Style Quickswitch setup?


Recommended Posts

Hey there!

Been using Publisher to design bulletins and whatnot for a couple of people. Each person has their own branding style and information, which (due to how I build the bulletins) can make rebranding take a while. I've been theorizing a system where I can simply select which brand the bulletin is being built for and automatically adjust colors and fonts the way I need them but I don't know how to actually make it effective in Publisher. I thought about using text styles but that seems like it could be rather inefficient.

Any ideas?

Hi Sunruh welcome to the forums,

Have you looked at the templates option available in the New Documnent window.

You set up a document the way you want it for Client A and then go to File > Export as Template... You can have Text styles and Document Colour Palettes and paper size etc in there too. It will take a few tries to get things set the way you want them, I forgot to link text frames on two pages and had a hell of a time until I realized what the problem was, then just a quick change and re-export.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

That sounds as though it's exactly what I'm looking for. I'll give it a try, thanks man!
