Branding governance in SharePoint has long been distributed and inconsistent. Ensuring a unified look usually meant reminders, clean-ups, and manual fixes one site at a time.
With the new PowerShell capabilities, admins will be able to:
- Disable or enable custom branding for individual sites
- Apply approved enterprise themes — including multi-color options
- Automatically enforce branding the moment a new site is created
- Remove old Brand Centers when updating governance
- Track all branding changes through auditing for governance visibility
Plus, theme creation is moving to the primary geo: Satellite geos can apply themes, but won’t be able to create new ones anymore.
Rollout timeline
