What is the Default Brand Board and How To Change It in HighLevel

Imagine this. You just landed a massive holiday campaign for your biggest e-commerce client. They want a complete visual overhaul for Black Friday. They have a custom color palette, special fonts, and a brand new logo strictly for this launch. Your team gets to work building out a dozen funnels and email sequences.

Then you start reviewing the assets. The team built everything fast, but they used the client’s standard corporate blue instead of the new Black Friday red. Why? Because the standard brand board was still set as the default inside the CRM. Every time a designer opened a color picker, the old colors popped up first. You waste hours doing quality control, hunting down rogue hex codes, and manually fixing every single button and headline. You just burned an entire afternoon on useless formatting mistakes.

You cannot scale an agency if your team has to fight the software to find the right branding. HighLevel fixes this instantly. You can easily swap your default brand board with one click so your designers always see the exact colors and fonts they need right at the top of their pickers. Let us get your workspace properly configured right now.

Ready to streamline this? Here is exactly how to do it in 60 seconds:

Part 1: Access Your Brand Boards

First, we need to open the command center for your visual identity.

1. Go to Marketing in the main navigation bar.
2. Select the Brand Boards tab on the top navigation ribbon to view all of your saved kits. (You can also access this by navigating to Settings and clicking Brand Boards).

Part 2: Swap the Default Kit

Let us tell the system which branding guidelines take top priority right now.

1. Find the specific brand board you want to use for your upcoming campaign.
2. Click the three dots icon next to the desired brand board name.
3. Select Set as Default from the dropdown menu.
4. Watch the system instantly prioritize these new design assets across your entire workspace for all new edits.

Part 3: The Edit Mode Shortcut

There is another lightning-fast way to make this switch while you are actively building a kit.

1. Click on any desired brand board to open the visual editor.
2. Look in the upper right corner and click the Set as Default button.

Part 4: Verify Your Setup

Double-check your work so your team can build with total confidence.

1. Look at your main list of kits. The active one will now display a Default status badge.
2. Open any email or funnel editor and click a color picker to confirm your newly selected brand colors appear right at the top of the menu.

Swapping your default brand board keeps your team moving fast and ensures every seasonal promotion stays perfectly on brand.
