# Agency branding for client exports

Use this guide when you need charts, dashboards, and exports to look on-brand for client deliverables. Steps come from existing **Colors**, **Dashboard**, and **Collection** help.

AddMaple does not yet have a dedicated help article for importing a custom PowerPoint `.pptx` template file. This guide covers what the help center documents today: **project color presets**, **column-specific colors**, and **dashboard logo**.

## Project-wide brand colors

Project-wide colors update the default palette across the **entire project**. All chart types use your chosen colors, and **PowerPoint exports follow the preset**.

**When to use it:** You want brand colors consistently across every chart and data type.

**How to set it:**

1. From the **Explore Dashboard**, open **More menu → Settings → Project Settings**
2. Under **Colors**, select a preset or define your own custom palette
3. Click **Save** (bottom right)

See [How to apply color presets](/help/guides/colors) for screenshots of Project Settings.

You can also create a **custom palette** in the same screen (see the full [Colors](/help/guides/colors) guide).

## Lock colors for specific segments

For stable segment colors across charts (for example Segment A always pink, Segment B always blue), assign **column-specific colors** via the legend.

See [Managing individual column colors](/help/guides/legend) and [Colors](/help/guides/colors).

## Logo on dashboards (Insight Hubs)

When you build a Story Dashboard, add your logo from the header to brand your dashboard.

See [Create a dashboard](/help/guides/dashboard/create).

You can also style individual items with the Style Editor (palette icon). See [Dashboard styles](/help/guides/dashboard/styles).

## Exports that respect branding

After colors are set:

- Charts in published hubs use your palette
- **Download as PowerPoint** from My Collection or the Selection menu exports charts/tables with your project colors

See [Export charts to PowerPoint](/help/guides/powerpoint-export) and [Using My Collection](/help/guides/insights/collection-guide).
