General Settings

Control your brand’s global settings, access, structure, and security.

The General Settings page is where you configure the core behavior of your brand guide — everything from the site title and home page to access keys, terms acceptance, callouts, and team permissions. These settings affect how your brand guide looks, behaves, and is accessed by visitors.

This is the control center for brand‑level configuration.

🌟 What You Can Configure

From this page, you can manage:

  • Brand title and admin theme
  • Download, share, and print options
  • Home page and SEO metadata
  • Terms acceptance
  • Important callouts
  • Master password
  • Access keys (restricted access links)
  • Team access (owners and editors)

Everything is grouped into clear sections for easy navigation.

🧭 Page Overview

The General Settings page is divided into the following sections:

🏷 App Settings

These settings control the overall identity and behavior of your brand guide.

Title

The name of your brand guide. Appears in the admin and can be used in SEO.

Admin Theme

Choose how the admin dashboard looks:

  • Use Brand — matches your theme colors
  • Dark
  • Light

Feature Toggles

Enable or disable:

  • Download — allows visitors to download assets
  • Share — shows the share button
  • Print — allows printing of pages

These settings affect the public‑facing UI.

🏛 Site Structure & Meta

These settings control how your brand guide appears to visitors and search engines.

Home Page

Choose which page loads first when someone visits your brand guide.

SEO Title Suffix

Adds a suffix to your page titles (e.g., “ Acme Brand Guide”).

SEO Description

A short description used by search engines and social previews.

📄 Terms Acceptance

If you need visitors to agree to terms before viewing your brand guide, you can enable this section.

Options include:

  • Require Terms Acceptance
  • Enable Checkbox (forces users to check a box)
  • Terms Content (full text, supports rich formatting)

This is useful for legal disclaimers, licensing restrictions, or NDA‑protected content.

📢 Important Callout

Add a prominent banner at the top of your brand guide.

You can configure:

  • Enable Callout
  • Callout Content (short message)
  • Callout URL (optional link)
  • Open in New Tab
  • Font Color (choose from theme colors)
  • Background Color (choose from theme colors)

This is ideal for announcements, updates, or important notices.

🔐 Master Password

The master password locks the entire brand guide.

How it works:

  • Visitors must enter the password to access anything
  • Access keys can bypass the password but apply restrictions
  • Only letters, numbers, and - _ . ~ are allowed

This is perfect for private or pre‑launch brand guides.

🔑 Access Keys

Access keys let you create restricted access links with custom permissions.

Each access key can have:

Key

A short, URL‑safe code (e.g., clientA, review, press).

Label

A friendly name for your reference.

Page Permissions

Choose which pages the key can access.

Menu Visibility

Hide specific pages from the navigation for this key.

UI Permissions

Enable or disable:

  • Share
  • Download
  • Print

This allows you to create tailored experiences for clients, partners, press, or internal teams.

You can add as many access keys as you need.

👥 Team Access

This section controls who can manage the brand guide.

Owners

  • Full control
  • Can invite or remove editors
  • Can manage all settings

Editors

  • Can edit pages, components, colors, fonts, files, and settings
  • Cannot invite or remove other editors
  • Can remove themselves from the brand

Invite User

Enter an email to invite a WordPress user as an editor.

Remove Editor

Owners can remove editors at any time.

Leave Brand

Editors can remove themselves from the brand.

This makes collaboration simple and secure.

💾 Saving Your Settings

A Save Settings button is always visible in the bottom‑right corner.

Click it to apply all changes across:

  • App settings
  • SEO
  • Terms
  • Callout
  • Master password
  • Access keys

Team access changes are saved separately using their own buttons.

🎯 Summary

The General Settings page helps you:

  • Control the identity and behavior of your brand guide
  • Manage access and security
  • Configure SEO and structure
  • Add legal terms and callouts
  • Invite and manage team members
  • Create powerful access‑restricted experiences
