Microsoft SharePoint: Customize your individual sites and experiences with fonts and themes

Microsoft SharePoint will soon allow site owners to customize sites with their own themes and fonts, in addition to organization-provided branding. Rollout begins October 2024 for Targeted Release and November 2024 for General Availability. No admin action required; updates to user documentation may be needed.

Coming soon for Microsoft SharePoint: Site owners will be able to create font packages and themes for their sites and experiences by combining the branding assets that the organization provides or by creating their own.

The Change the look experience will contain branding created in the SharePoint brand center (or with Microsoft PowerShell) for their organization as well as their own local site branding. These will continue to be previewed and applied via the Change the Look experience for your sites and experiences.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 375500.

When this will happen:

Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out early October 2024 and expect to complete by late October 2024.

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out early November 2024 and expect to complete by late November 2024.

How this will affect your organization:

Before this rollout: Site owners have limited ability to customize their sites and experiences with branding.

After this rollout, site branding adds an additional option to customize a single site with a unique theme and font package created and managed by the site owners, adding this option to the branding available from your organization and from Microsoft.

Note: Themes will continue to be inherited from the hub for associated sites.

What you need to do to prepare:

Site owners will be able to create, rename, and delete themes and font packages (where available in a tenant). This will not impact the themes and font packages provided from the organization or from Microsoft.

Admins will need to take no action for this feature to be available. This will be available by default to all site owners without admin action and cannot be disabled.

You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation.
