Brand modules
Brand structure settings
Configuring the overall brand structure for a portal.
Brand structure settings give you full control over which modules appear in a portal and in what order. From a single settings screen, you can drag modules to reorder them and toggle visibility on or off for each one — without touching the client-facing surface of the portal. Content in hidden modules is preserved; nothing is deleted.
Accessing brand structure settings
From inside a portal, open Settings → Brand structure. The screen shows a list of all modules currently associated with the portal: Brand Guidelines, Logos, Colors, Typography, any Custom modules you've added, and any other standard modules. Each row has a drag handle on the left and a visibility toggle on the right.
This settings screen is only accessible to portal Editors and Owners. It is not visible to Viewers or clients.
Reordering modules
Drag any module row up or down to change its position. The order you set here is exactly what clients see when they navigate the portal. The module at the top of the list becomes the first tab in the portal navigation (after Brand Guidelines, which always anchors the top as a featured card rather than a tab).
Example: if your client is mid-rebrand and color decisions are still final but logo files are being revised, you might move Logos below Colors temporarily so clients focus on the settled part of the system first.
Changes to order are saved automatically and applied immediately to the live portal.
Toggling module visibility
The toggle on each row controls whether that module appears in the portal at all. Turning a module off removes it from the client's view — the tab disappears from navigation and the module's content is no longer accessible. The module data remains intact in your portal settings; re-enabling the toggle restores everything exactly as it was.
When to hide a module:
- Rebrand in progress: A client is in the middle of a typography overhaul. Hide the Typography module so clients aren't confused by interim work. When the new typefaces are confirmed and uploaded, toggle it back on.
- Staged rollout: You're launching a portal for a new client but the color tokens aren't finalized yet. Publish the portal with Logos and Brand Guidelines visible, and enable Colors when it's ready.
- Module not relevant to this client: You have a Custom module for motion guidelines that only applies to specific clients. Keep it hidden on portals where it isn't needed.
Why this is in settings, not in the portal view
The client-facing portal surface is intentionally clean. Editors shouldn't have to jump in and out of an "edit mode" that temporarily distorts what clients see. By keeping structure controls in Settings, the portal view always reflects exactly what a visitor would experience. You configure, then review as a client would.
This separation also protects clients from seeing partially configured states. A module you're in the middle of populating never appears until you explicitly enable it.
Custom modules and structure settings
Custom modules you create in Settings → Modules → Add module appear in the brand structure list alongside standard modules, and can be reordered and toggled in exactly the same way. For more on creating and configuring custom modules, see Custom modules.
