Updating an Existing Content Hub Theme

Step 1: Access the Themes Page Via the Manage Page

To update an existing theme, you will need to access the Theme Manager in Sitecore Content Hub. This can be done by navigating to the "Manage" page and selecting "Themes."

Step 2: Click on the Theme to Update

You will see a list of available themes. Some will be locked and cannot be edited. Select the unlocked theme that you to update.

Step 3: Make Your Changes

Make any changes to the fonts, colours, logos, etc. and click the ‘Save’ button once finished. The updates need to process and you might see a ‘Processing’ label next to your theme, so changes might not appear right away. Once the processing is complete, your changes should be applied.

Step 4: Quality Testing Your Changes

If the theme that was updated is not the theme applied to your account, you’ll want to check your updates from an account that does have the theme applied. This can be done through the Impersonate feature. Alternatively, you can assign the updated theme to a user (see Step 4).

1. On the Manage page, click on ‘Users’.
2. Locate the user who has the theme applied to their account in the search bar or navigate through the list.
3. Once you’ve found the user, click on the (i) icon on the right.
4. To assign a theme to a user, click the ‘Edit profile’ button, followed by the ‘+’ button next to the Theme field. Select the theme you want to apply from the list and click ‘Ok’ and then ‘Save’.
5. Click on the ‘Impersonate’ button. This will allow you to see how this account looks from that user’s perspective. This also includes permissions and user roles. If you want to return to your account, you need to log out of the impersonation account and log back into your account.
