Find links to information about using Design Manager and implementing a design for your SharePoint site.

If you want your SharePoint site to represent your organization's brand and not "look like SharePoint," you can create a custom design and use Design Manager to achieve that goal. Design Manager is a feature in SharePoint that makes it easier to create a fully customized, pixel-perfect design while using the web-design tools that you're already familiar with. Design Manager is a publishing feature that is available in publishing sites in both SharePoint and Office 365. You can also use Design Manager to brand the public-facing website in Office 365.

An Edit Mode Panel is a snippet that you can use to display instructions or other content to content authors, who see the contents of that panel only when they edit a page. Conversely, this snippet can also be configured to display its contents only in regular (view) mode instead of in edit mode.

To style a snippet, you override the default styles with custom CSS. You can use CSS IDs and element selectors to override all the default styles applied to elements, or you can use an HTML editor or a tool such as the F12 developer tools in Internet Explorer to identify and override specific default styles.

Learn how to set, create, and change the preview page in Design Manager in SharePoint.
1216
The preview page is the page of your site that you use to see how your design looks. You can set the preview page to be either a specific page within your site or a generic preview. If you choose the generic preview, you'll see your master page with only a placeholder for content. You'll also see a message in the banner that you're currently previewing the master page without any content. If you choose a specific page, you'll see the page content rendered with the master page and the appropriate page layout.

With Design Manager, you can convert an .html file into a SharePoint master page, a .master file. After the conversion, the .html file and master page are associated, so that when you edit and save the .html file, the changes are synced to the associated master page.

The **Change the look** wizard is the entry point to the SharePoint theming experience. The design gallery is the first page in the **Change the look** wizard and shows a thumbnail view of available designs. Users select a design for their site and then continue to the next page where they can customize the design. Users can then preview the site before applying the design to their site. The master page preview file is used to generate the thumbnail and preview images. If a master page does not have a corresponding preview file, it cannot be used in the theming experience.

When you use Design Manager to create a page layout, two files are created: an .aspx file that SharePoint uses, and an HTML version of that page layout that you can edit in your HTML editor. The HTML file and page layout are associated, so that whenever you edit and save the HTML file, your changes are synced to the associated page layout.
