SharePoint Online Site Branding
Hi Grant,
Thanks for your response.
It is new Site Branding indeed, I have it configured under our Org Assets site which is set as the Brand center site but the option doesn't appear across other sites in tenant. Do i have to do anything else to make it available or should it be automatic ?
I do have ability to write up a script to apply theme across once its available, i just thought it would be good to figure the Site Branding out as this seems to be way forward.
If you're using the Site branding on a specific site (even the Brand Center site) then that will only be available for that site.
If you want a theme to be available to apply across all your sites, you will need to go into the Brand Center and create a new Theme for SharePoint. However, as far as I know, there is no way to apply the theme across sites from within the Brand Cener - only make it available for users to choose within Change the look > Theme.
If you want to apply it to all your sites, then it would be a similar process to what I provided before - see below. Note that I would also suggest only targeting Modern sites (Communication and Modern Team sites - so might need to add some filtering in the script to cater for that).
Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://YOUR_TENANT-admin.sharepoint.com" -ClientId "YOUR_APP_REG_GUID" -Interactive
$sites = Get-PnPTenantSite | Select Url
foreach($site in $sites) {
#Apply a theme to a particular site - this assumes you have created a theme called "My Red Theme" in the Brand Center
Set-PnPWebTheme -Theme "My Red Theme" -WebUrl $site.Url
}However - I just tried this in my tenant and it's applying themes that I added manually (old school) but throws an error for themes created via the Brand Center which is interesting - I'll do some more investigation.
Adding to my post above. It seems that Set-PnPWebTheme is only available for the old themes we added manually (JSON colors). From some further investigation, there doesn't seem to be a way to programmatically apply the new themes to sites which is a major gap (another gap in the overall Modern Branding solution).
When you create a new Theme in the Brand Center it should show as an option to select in Change the look > Theme across each site - but auto applying looks "potentially" not possible. I'll keep researching and get back to you.
