A brand kit puts your look on exports. Create kits in Confluence under Apps, Laya Export Studio, Brand Kits & Templates, in Jira under Brand Kits, or from the exporter with Save as new brand kit.

Create a brand kit

  1. Start a kitChoose New brand kit and give it a Name.
  2. Add your lookUpload a Logo (PNG or JPEG, up to 1.5 MB; it shows on the cover), and set the Primary colour and Footer text.
  3. Choose the extrasTick Watermark and type its text, Cover page and Page numbers as you need. In Jira, the field is Watermark text.
  4. SaveChoose Save brand kit.

Where a kit applies

  • A kit belongs to the whole site or to one Confluence space. Kits made in Confluence Home are site-wide; a kit saved from a page's exporter belongs to that page's space.
  • Each scope can have one default kit, which the exporter picks for you. Setting a default needs a space admin for a space kit, or a site admin for a site-wide kit.
  • Jira and Confluence keep separate brand kits, and Jira uses only its own site-wide kits.
  • When you export, the kit's settings are frozen into that export, so editing the kit later never changes a file you already made.
  • The person who made a kit, or an admin, can change it.

Templates

A template is a saved export preset: layout settings such as the cover, table of contents and orientation, and a brand kit. The exporter offers built-in layouts, such as Documentation and Article, and the templates your team saves. Make and star templates in the exporter: New template, Save template, and Manage templates & brand kits.

Tips

  • Give kits clear names, and make one default company kit.
  • Keep footer text short, so pages stay uncluttered.
  • Use watermarks for confidential documents, but check that the text stays readable.
  • Test each new kit with a short PDF before you use it for a big pack.
  • Branding applies to PDF and Word. Markdown bundles and AI knowledge packs carry no branding.
