- General - sets the standard font and color palette to be used throughout the theme
- Grid - these are settings uniquely set for the grid visual determining how it will look and feel: columns, rows and data cells.
- Visuals - these settings govern all other visuals, covering titles, axes, grid lines, legends and range colors
- Text - these settings govern the way text elements in the app can be styled. Text elements are text boxes added in Present, Publish and Illustrate. It also includes the panel text designs in the Present app.

Style Inheritance
By choosing the inheritance option for settings (where available), the parent settings will be applied. This makes it easier to create consistent styles that cascade through the style template from the top to the bottom. Inherited settings flow from the general element from each section. And the general element from each section cascades from the of the theme.
Custom Fonts
Admins can import custom fonts into the platform, to be used in theme templates and for user to change the way text appears throughout the application.
