What is a Default Brand Board?

A Brand Board stores visual identity elements like colors, fonts, and logos for consistent styling across Scalendo. Setting one as default tells editors which branding guidelines to display in color and font pickers, streamlining design work and minimizing errors. The first brand board created automatically becomes the default.

Key Benefits of Setting a Default Brand Board

• Consistency: Maintains aligned colors, fonts, and logos across editors
• Speed: Surfaces relevant swatches and typefaces first in pickers
• Simplicity: Enables easy switching between multiple brand guidelines
• Onboarding: Helps new team members apply correct styling quickly
• Reusability: Creates a single authoritative source for brand elements

When to Change the Default Brand Board

Change the default when brand guidelines receive significant updates (new colors, logos) to ensure alignment across materials. For special occasions like seasonal themes, consider creating separate templates rather than altering the default board, allowing flexible switching between versions.

How to Change the Default Brand Board

Step 1: Access Brand Boards

Navigate to Marketing > Brand Boards tab, or go through Settings > Brand Boards.

Step 2: Set Your Board as Default

Locate your desired brand board, click the three dots menu, and select "Set as Default."

Step 3: Edit Mode Alternative

Open the brand board editor and click "Set as Default" in the upper right corner.

Step 4: Verify

Confirm the board displays "Default" status and verify colors appear correctly in editors.
