    CandyDocs offers full workspace-level branding so your documentation hub matches your product’s identity. Every module adopts your chosen logo, color palette, menu structure, URLs, and hero text.

    "Brand identity ensures the documentation users interact with feels like an extension of your own product, not a third-party tool."


    Brand Elements You Can Customize

    CandyDocs supports a complete range of branding elements:

    • Logo and logo variants
    • Favicon and icons
    • Primary and secondary color palette
    • Hero headline and description for each module
    • Navigation menu names
    • URL paths for modules
    • Menu order and visibility
    • SEO metadata defaults
    • Light and dark theme contrast rules

    All of these settings update instantly across the workspace.


    Configuring Logos and Visual Assets

    CandyDocs supports multiple logo formats to ensure your branding remains consistent across all layouts.

    Supported logo types:

    • Main logo (header and menu)
    • Square logo (compact areas)
    • Wide or horizontal logo
    • Favicon or brand icon

    Guidelines:

    • Use high-resolution PNG or SVG files
    • Ensure contrast works in light and dark modes
    • Upload both regular and square variants for best coverage

    Once uploaded, CandyDocs auto-applies logos across:

    • Navigation bar
    • Mobile menu
    • Auth screens
    • Hero areas
    • SEO previews (optional)


    Setting Up Colors and Theme Rules

    CandyDocs uses your primary brand color to generate:

    • Button colors
    • Highlight colors
    • Category accents
    • Link styling
    • Card borders and shadows

    You can configure:

    • Primary color
    • Secondary accent

    CandyDocs automatically adjusts contrast to maintain accessibility.


    Customizing Hero Text for Modules

    Each module (Knowledge Base, Roadmap, Updates, Wishlist) supports custom hero text.

    You can edit:

    • Hero title
    • Hero description

    • Call-to-action (optional)

    This helps tailor messaging such as:

    “For quick answers, explore our Knowledge Base”

    “Tell us what to build by submitting feedback”

    Hero text improves clarity and sets expectations.
