Note: If you change a page name after it has been used, you do not need to re-link the page.
Themes: Allows you to choose a design, color scheme, and font style. Currently there are limited themes and fonts, but this may change in the future. Each theme provides five color schemes, but you can also choose a custom color by applying a hex code to the paint bucket tool. The paint bucket is located to the right of the last color option. To find a specific hex code, you can go to https://www.colorhexa.com/ to choose a specific color code.
