Use the Theme Editor to create a theme, which determines the look of your site.
Theme Editor anatomy
To the left of the editor, the preview area shows the look of your theme. The preview shows the changes you make in the settings, so you can play around with your design before publishing it. To see how the theme looks in different parts of your site, click the drop-down at the top. You can choose the views: Landing pages, Header, Confluence page, and Issue/request.
Settings tab
To the right of the editor, you edit your theme in the Settings tab. Read more about the settings below.
History tab
Click the History tab to view and restore previous versions. A version is generated every time you hit the save button.

Footer
The footer is located at the bottom of the site.
If you last edited the footer before 31 May, it may look different than expected when you edit it. This is because we updated our editor.
The look of a footer used to be determined by settings located in two different places: in the Theme Editor and in the editor on your site. This used to be the outdated Layout Editor, which is now replaced by the Page Builder. Now you conveniently control all settings right in the Page Builder.
Because we moved the settings from the Theme Editor into the Page Builder, the footer may look differently than expected at first. It’s easy to change the design in the Page Builder before publishing the page. Additionally, the design may look different than expected if you use custom CSS on the site or HTML modules in the footer.
