Overview

The Style Panel is a customization tool within the Campaign Builder. It can be used to make design adjustments to the overall campaign theme.

Accessing the Style Panel

If you open an existing campaign using an older theme, you’ll be prompted to switch to using the Style Panel. NOTE: Enabling the Style Panel will automatically remove your existing theme. You will have the option to select a new theme from the panel.

If you start with a new template or a new campaign from scratch, the Style Panel will be open by default.

The Style Panel can be opened and closed by selecting the Style Panel icon in the toolbar on the left.

Using the Style Panel

When the Campaign Builder is set to Preview Mode, only the first Global tab is visible. To further edit each section of your campaign, turn Preview Mode off. Selecting the widgets on your campaign will open up customization menus for that specific widget. The features of each of these are outlined below.
Once you’ve edited settings in the Style Panel, select Save at the bottom of the Panel so your changes go into effect.
If you are unsatisfied with the changes you’ve made, select Revert to default at the top of the Style Panel. NOTE: This will undo all of the changes you’ve made in the Style Panel, and there is not a way to undo reverting to default.

Creating Themes

If you want to save the design elements of a campaign as a theme, you can save it as a theme by selecting Add to My Themes from the menu at the bottom-right of the Style Panel.

Changes made to a theme are unique to individual campaigns. If you apply a theme to a campaign and make changes to it using the Style Panel, you can save it as a new theme. If you want these changes to override the same theme applied to other campaigns, you can override it by saving it with the exact same name used for the theme.

Glossary of Design Terms

Here are some common terms you will see in the Style Panel:

Inherit: Any setting with an "inherit" option refers to the default theme style as determined in the Global settings. Selecting "inherit" will revert that element to the default theme style.
Margins vs. Padding: Margin is outer space of an element, while Padding is inner space of an element. Margin is the space outside the border of an element, while Padding is the space that is inside the border of it.
