By default, when you set colors and fonts in the Styleguide, those will flow through to all other elements. However, you can override the hierarchy at any time and manually set colors and fonts for all elements.

No, it pulls from the Styleguide settings in Candu. You can override styles manually with CSS in your codebase.

The Styleguide is universal, which means it will update all the content that you’ve built in Candu. The advantage is that you can set the Styleguide once, so that every time you create new content, your new styles will flow through. If you update your styles, those changes flow through to all new and existing (including published) content that uses Styleguide styles. Anything you styled by hand in the editor keeps its own values (see below).

Colors and fonts you set by hand in the editor override the Styleguide, so a Styleguide change doesn't reach them. Open the piece, select the element, and switch it back to a Styleguide style or clear the manual color. On buttons, a manual fill color also stops the hover color from showing.

Don't delete a style that content still uses, or that content loses its styling. If your style list has grown cluttered, message us in chat and we'll tidy it for you: we can hide styles you no longer need from the style picker, and content that already uses them keeps working.

Browsers can keep a copy of your styles for up to 8 hours. Do a hard refresh to see your changes right away. Your users get them as their browser refreshes its copy.
