Default Publication templates
As of 5.4, we have we have added additional default Publication templates to enable you to change the layout of the content articles you produce. More options intend to provide more choice and flexibility for users, allowing for different templates to be used for different module types (e.g. News articles versus Insights articles etc.)
The names of these 3 templates are:
And each of the layouts will change with each of the new themes.
Please note that if you are an existing client, you may need to work with our Professional Services team to work on some minimal design details
Examples of the templates are below:
Jade
Marble
Slate
Themes
We have also introduced customisable layouts available to use for the design of an entire publisher instance. These contain key overall look and feel details from out-of-the-box themes that are easy to apply with the added ability to make extra customisation changes to fonts, logos and colours with a few adjustments. This also saves time during the implementation process.
The names of these 3 themes are:
And examples of each theme can be found below:
Alps
Atlas
Andes
For existing customers, your customisation will be transferred into the default theme. If you have utilised Professional services to work on your design, please do not change or restore to default, as you will lose your bespoke solution. If you want to test these items, we recommend you use a sandbox instance. For more information contact HighQ Support.
