SharePoint Premium - Brand Center, Themes, custom fonts, etc.

I've been trying to find resources (training, videos, examples, etc.) of how the new Brand Center, Themes, Fonts, etc. work with SharePoint Premium, and the costs with respect to licensing (per user/pay as you go - can't find any information on this).

 

Across all the official Microsoft sites and the web in general, there doesn't seem to be anything that I can find. Even the Microsoft SharePoint Premium official site doesn't have anything that I can find related to branding. SharePoint Premium – Microsoft Adoption

 

Does anyone have any insights into what resources are available, especially since all the branding stuff is supposed to be released March/April 2024, but no idea how it works, and what licenses we would need (and what's included for free each month, if any).

 

Thanks in advance.

  • Hi

    I'm not sure much has been announced and if/how it fits into SharePoint Premium.

    I'm looking out for announcements at the Microsoft 365 Conference (https://www.m365conf.com) at the end of this month.

      LeonArmston Thanks for your reply - appreciated.

       

      I'm hoping someone from Microsoft will see my reply below.

       

      Microsoft really needs to get their communications sorted. The central branding, custom fonts, etc. were on the Official Microsoft Roadmap scheduled to be released to GA in March - until a couple of days ago when they then changed the dates to September without any warning or information of the 6+ month delay. We have been waiting for this for quite some time and setup to start using it, but now have to wait for another 6+ months, and hoping that Microsoft don't then push it out again 😞

       

      Sorry for the rant - just that we've been discussing the central branding rollout across our business (50k+ employees so not a small business), and now have to go back and say they need to wait at least 6 months more with still no promise it will happen.

       

      I've attached the Roadmap items (pre and post the date changes). I'm really hoping to get any information on why it was delayed, will it actually happen in September, or any additional information. Seems Microsoft have completely stopped talking about the new branding altogether which is a bit of a worry.

       

      What was in the roadmap on 2nd April.

       

      What it was changed to a couple of days ago.

       

      If you know anyone internally in Microsoft who has more info, or clarification around the delay, that would be amazing.

        Sorry to ping you all directly - just hoping to get some more information related to the new Central branding. Given it still currently says it's rolling out this month in preview, there still seems to be zero information/resources related to any of it which is quite bizarre - and concerning.

        Also, still trying to confirm if this is part of SharePoint Premium, or will just be rolled out to all tenants eventually at no extra cost/licensing.
