Pretty builds a design system from your files, but you know your brand best. Ten minutes of review after the build pays off in every deck that follows: chats use the design system on every turn, so a wrong colour or a missing font shows up everywhere, and a fix shows up everywhere too.

​
Look through it

Open Studio in the web editor, click your design system, and go through each section of its page.
The quickest check is a real one. Start a chat with the design system and ask for three slides you build all the time (“an agenda”, “a two-column comparison”, “a chart with a takeaway”). Put them next to one of your own decks: wrong colours, fonts or spacing point straight at what to fix.

​
Fix it with Pretty

Click Edit with Pretty. A chat opens beside the page, already set up to change the design system, and the page shows each change as soon as Pretty saves it. Say what’s wrong the way you’d tell a colleague:
  • “Chart colours are navy, then grey, then light blue. Never use the orange.”
  • “Titles are 28 pt and always a full sentence that states the takeaway.”
  • “Use the two-column layout for comparisons, not the table.”
  • “The number badges are too big. Use the small ones from the Q3 deck.”
Ask “what can I change here?” and Pretty explains.
One change per message, and point at an example when you can: a slide number, a deck, or a screenshot of what’s wrong. Then make the same test slide again to see the difference.

​
Edit it yourself

Admins can also change parts by hand: upload a font under Typography, add or upload a master under Masters and layouts, and add or edit an element’s usage note under Elements. Members can try changes on their own copy with Make your own copy, without affecting anyone else.

​
Keep it current

  • New template? Add it under Masters and layouts, then click Update design to this master. Built without a template? Improve with your PowerPoint template builds it again from yours.
  • One brand, one design system. For a client or a sub-brand, create a separate design system rather than adding its files to yours. See Create a design system.
  • Make it the default. Make default in the design system’s menu makes every new chat and deck start with it, so nobody has to remember to pick it.
