Work with the Paper theme

Paper is a full-width theme with a modern, top-header layout. It gives your guidelines a clean, immersive feel.

Why use Paper theme

Some brands want their guidelines to feel less like internal docs and more like public-facing digital experiences. Paper is built for that.

With Paper, you can:

  • create full-width layouts with visual impact

  • use a top header with a customizable mega menu

  • design without code using flexible layout settings

  • give users fast, intuitive navigation

It’s the ideal theme for visually led, brand-first teams.


What you can customize

  • Primary header: height, spacing, background, icons

  • Secondary header: typography, borders, layout

  • Mega menu: tab styles, background, corner radius, hover states

Everything is adjustable in the theme panel, no code required.


Who is it for

Paper works best for:

  • teams designing modern brand hubs

  • brands who want a premium, visual-first experience

  • editors with no technical support


How to get started

  1. Admins install the Paper theme from the Marketplace

  2. Owners and editors apply it to a guideline

  3. Click the paintbrush icon to open the setup menu

  4. Customize the primary, secondary and mega menus and more!

Use a staging guideline to test your layout before going live.


Can I migrate from legacy

Yes, and you should. Legacy is being phased out. While no sunset date is set yet, Paper will continue to receive all future improvements.


Will content or access change

No. Your guidelines, blocks, and user permissions stay exactly the same.


Can I go back

Technically yes, but we strongly recommend moving forward. Legacy will not receive updates.
