Shared styles

Shared styles let you keep colors and palettes consistent across your canvas — and, if you’re on an Enterprise plan, across your whole workspace.

Manage styles

• Create styles
  • With nothing selected, click the Add (+) icon next to Styles in the right sidebar.
  • You can create shared colors, categorical palettes, and continuous palettes.
  • Once created, edit the name and properties from the sidebar.

• Use styles
  • Shared colors appear under the Shared tab in the color picker.
  • Shared palettes appear at the top of the palettes list.

• Edit styles
  • Click the color thumbnail next to a style to change it.
  • Any updates are applied instantly to all objects using that style.
• Delete styles
  • Click the Delete icon in the sidebar.
  • Objects keep their current properties but are no longer linked to the deleted style.

Examples of style types

• Single color → best for items that take one fill or stroke, like simple charts, shapes, or text.
  Example: define a shared “Highlight yellow” to quickly emphasize key findings across canvases.
• Categorical palette → used when values fall into discrete groups. You can also drag colors to change the order they’re applied.
  Example: use a 5-color brand palette for sales regions (North, South, East, West, Central).

• Continuous palette → applied when values fall on a numerical scale.
  Example: use a green → red gradient for profit margin, so higher values show in green and lower in red.

Workspace styles (Enterprise only)

Workspace styles extend shared styles across multiple canvases and projects:

1. Create shared styles in a canvas.
2. From the File menu, select Publish shared styles to workspace…
3. Confirm if publishing will overwrite existing workspace styles.

Workspace styles don’t appear in the design sidebar — they’re available anywhere local color/palette options are displayed.
