What to do

Treat this as a working checklist, not background reading. Use it before you change settings, publish external material, or hand work to another operator.

  • Use this before external sharing, after rebrands, or when proposals feel generic.
  • After brand governance is stable, validate template defaults and run a full publish/send simulation.
  • Preview one proposal per template after brand updates.
  • Confirm buyer-facing send links still reflect brand intent.

Where it shows up in the workflow

This guide matters most when work moves between setup, authoring, buyer delivery, and post-sign execution. Use the linked guides to follow the full path instead of solving one surface in isolation.

  • Brand configuration affects templates, proposal rendering, PDF export, and send/sign buyer experience.
  • Review the related guide "Getting Started: workspace setup and first value" when this step depends on another surface.
  • Review the related guide "Templates: reusable proposal architecture and defaults" when this step depends on another surface.
  • Use "Templates: reusable proposal architecture and defaults" as the next guided step after this page.
