SharePoint branding governance via PowerShell
Tenant admins will soon manage SharePoint site branding centrally via PowerShell, enabling enforcement of enterprise themes, disabling custom branding per site, auditing changes, and applying themes during site creation. Theme management will centralize in the primary geo, with rollout from late 2025 to early 2026. Coming soon to SharePoint: Tenant admins will be able to centrally manage site branding using PowerShell. This update supports consistent branding across all SharePoint sites by enabling enforcement of enterprise themes, disabling custom branding on specific sites, and auditing branding changes. These capabilities help organizations maintain a unified brand experience and improve governance. This message is associated with Roadmap ID 526794. When this will happen: Targeted Release (Worldwide): Begins late November 2025, completes mid-December 2025 General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): Begins mid-January 2026, completes late January 2026 How this affects your organization: Who is affected: Tenant admins managing SharePoint Online branding and governance. What will happen: Admins can disable or enable custom site branding per site using PowerShell. When site branding is disabled, site managers lose access to Site branding page in Site Settings. Admins can apply enterprise themes (including multi-color themes) to specific sites via PowerShell. Branding changes made via PowerShell are tracked for audit and accountability. New site creation scripts can include branding settings to ensure consistency from launch. Admins can remove existing Brand Center via PowerShell. Theme management via PowerShell is transitioning to a centralized model: The primary geo will act as the central location for organization-wide theme creation and management. Satellite geos will be able to view and apply themes from the primary geo using Get-SPOTheme and Set-SPOWebTheme cmdlets. Themes previously created in satellite geos will remain available, but creating new themes in satellite geos will no longer be supported. Here’s what’s new: Consistent branding enforcement: Admins can disable or enable custom branding per site. When disabled, site managers lose access to Site branding page in Site Settings. Automated theme application: Apply approved enterprise themes (including multi-color themes) to specific sites using PowerShell. Audit and transparency: All branding changes made via PowerShell are tracked, enabling visibility into who made updates. […]
