Styles is a set of layout elements: fonts, headings, text and background colors, indents, dividers, icons and buttons.

Creating a Style
There are three ways you can create a style:
- Quick setup. Once you set your Setka Editor account we offer you to create your first simple style. If there are any styles created already, you can start a quick setup by choosing to Create custom style -> Quick setup in Styles option from your Setka Account.
- Advanced setup. Choose all fonts, colors, and other layout tools yourself with the help of an advanced setup. To create a style in this mode open Styles in your Setka Account and choose Create custom style -> Advanced setup.
- From a copy of an already created style. To do that open Styles section in your Setka Account and hover your mouse over the needed style badge. You will see a Style actions menu in the upper right-hand corner, click on it and choose Duplicate.
Quick setup
In a quick setup mode you can only choose a color palette and and a font combination. The result will be seen in an example right under the menu:
Any color can be replaced with the one that is used for your brand or media:
Save your style and choose it when creating your first post. You can edit a style created in a quick set-up mode by adding any other elements, e.g.: fonts, icons, button layout, etc. To do that you need to opt for an advanced setup.
Advanced setup
To set your style manually you need to open Styles section in your Setka Account. Then choose Create custom style -> Advanced setup:
All styles are being edited in an Advanced setup mode.

How can Style changes impact the already published posts?
All changes you make and save are being applied to all posts created in this style.
Adding elements
Existing posts will not be changed in case you add new style elements as colors, dividers, text formats or buttons. You can save the changes in the same post style
Removing elements
Existing posts will be affected if you remove style elements (icons, dividers, buttons, etc.), update text formats, or apply any other changes to style elements used in posts that are already published.
To avoid affecting already published posts, just copy your style by clicking Save -> Duplicate style.
Here are some examples that can affect already published posts:
- Significant changes to the font size. As a result, some words might not fit in the columns
- Deleting icons. For example, if you delete numerical icons, your post's structure might be lost
- Deleting dividers. For example, if you delete dividers for quotations, it will be unclear that this text is direct speech
Changes in Design Cloud posts
Style changes will not be applied to already exported and published posts created in Design Cloud. To make your changes applied to an already published post, you need to export it again from Posts section in your Setka Account after saving your style.
Publishing your Style
A new style will be saved as a Draft. You can edit style drafts in your Setka Account. To use a new style, you need to publish it by clicking Publish. Preinstalled styles are marked with an icon
