Designing with Workspace Styles

Beefree App is now RGE Studio!
The email design suite you already know and love just leveled up. We’re working hard to update our help center, but you still may see some references to the old product name.

Using your workspace settings in the builder

Now that you've customized your workspace styles, it's time to start designing! Let's look at how you will see your custom workspace styles reflected in the builder. 

Keep in mind that your workspace styles will not overwrite existing template settings. You may not see your custom style settings when using a template from our catalog or a custom template.

Workspace Colors

In every version of the RGE Studio builder, you will have access to your custom workspace color palette.

You can find your custom color palette anywhere a color picker exists in the builder. This includes color pickers in the sidebar and on text toolbars.

Note that your colors' names will not appear inside the builder.

If color editing permissions are enabled, this impacts the in-builder color picker. These permissions apply equally to all users while working inside the builder. 

If permissions are set to Brand colors only, you can only see approved colors while designing. This applies to any color picker on a text toolbar or in the builder sidebar. All hex-input options are disabled.

If permissions are set to No color changes, then all in-builder color pickers are disabled. In this case, colors are applied based on the Workspace styles settings. 

Owners, admins, and managers can modify color editing permissions. Changes must be made in the Workspace Styles tab of your settings. For more information, please see Custom Workspace Styles.

Workspace Content Widths

Your workspace content widths will populate any time you use Start from Scratch. If using a template, the template's content area width will overwrite your settings.

Workspace Content Block styles

Text settings

Workspace styles allow you to set text settings for the following content blocks:

• Title
• Paragraph
• List
• Button

This includes text and link colors (where applicable) and the font set in the Typography section. If using a template, your custom font will override the default font in the Settings tab. 

Button settings

As mentioned above, your button text settings are reflected in any new button. You'll also see your selected settings for the button background color. Add your preferred button text and action URL, and you're all set!

Social settings

When using a new social block, your social style settings (platform icons, URLs, and titles) populate immediately. The only further editing this might require is selecting the style of social icons you want to use.
