Step 1: Open Design Settings
In the editor, click the “Design” button (look for a palette icon). This opens the Design Settings panel on the side of your screen.
Step 2: Set Your Brand Colors
Choose a primary color to serve as the main accent across buttons, highlights, and visual elements. You can also define secondary and background colors. Use the color picker or input exact HEX codes based on your brand guidelines.
Step 3: Select Fonts and Text Styles
Pick your preferred fonts from the available font list. Storydoc supports web-safe fonts and Google Fonts.
If you're on a Team plan and want to use a custom font, contact us and we'll help you integrate it into your workspace.
You can also adjust font sizes, color and weight for different text types (Title, Subtitle
, Paragraph).
Step 4: Adjust Other Design Elements
Customize additional visual settings to fine-tune your presentation style:
Image and video style: Set shape, corner radius, and shadow behavior
Media overlay: Adjust color overlay and apply a black-and-white filter if needed
Buttons: Configure button text style, colors, and corner radius
Links: Define how links appear, including font style and hover behavior
Highlights: Choose highlight color, style, and whether it animates
Each change is previewed in real time so you can instantly see how it affects the presentation.
Step 5: Apply, Save, and Reuse Design Settings
Changes made in the Design Settings panel are automatically applied to the current story.
To save or reuse a design across stories:
Scroll to the bottom of the Design Settings panel
Click “Design settings options”
Choose:
Save to store your current design setup for future use
Import to apply a saved design to the current Storydoc
This allows you and your team to maintain consistent branding across multiple decks with minimal effort.
By setting up your design in one place, you ensure all new slides and components inherit the same visual language. This saves time and keeps your presentation aligned with your brand. You can always adjust individual elements afterward if you need something custom.
