I cannot figure out how to quickly apply my brand elements (color, logo, font) to a template. The videos I have seen do not apply to the new express layout....where is the "design" button??

    Please tell me this feature is being reinstated. Like seriously, Adobe Express on my iPad is pointless because I can't use the branding feature. It seems to only be available on my laptop.

      Any updates on "apply brand" option.  Makes no sense that this feature has been removed.

        Has this now been fixed? Does anyone have a solution for this?

          I have a number of clients who use this function in collboration with my company for their quick socials. I have sung your praises and a big point has been the brand library and the ease of application to templates. You have made us look stupid and they now want to go back to Canva.

            I have clients who use this feature too, I've got them set up and subscribed with Adobe so that they can make their socials quickly - and it looks professional! Now I've just wasted a good hour of my time hunting for this feature I used last year, only to find it's gone. I'm screaming inside. I generated extra business for Adobe getting others subscribed, and now the sole purpose for that has been removed - why?

              Registering my frustration here as well! The "apply brand" option was why many of us subscribed in the first place! We need this option.

                Hi Adobe team, could you explain why you would you create a brand functionality that cannot be applied or used? This is so incredibly frustrating. Users want to apply and use the brand on templates. What is the point when it just means manually editing EVERYTHING?

                  Hello.

                   

                  This workflow has changed. Apologies for the inconvenience. 

                  You can access your brand from within the new Adobe Express.

                  • Open your design.
                  • Now, click on "Your stuff"  in the left hand panel.

                   

                  If you do not have a brand and were using Libraries, you can also convert your libraries from Photoshop or Illustrator to Brands in Adobe Express.

                  • From Home or the Editor, navigate to Your Stuff > Libraries.
                  • Hover over your desired library and click Use as brand.

                   

                  This will allow you to use your previous brand elements available in "Your Stuff" to an existing design.

                   

                  Here are two screenshots to help you get your brand elements into a template.

                    Why is this not publically shared and explained there is NO Quick apply brand as of October 2023 in this Adobe Express.  This defeats the purpose of this tool and makes me wanna go to Canva.  Your first link wasted people's time as it only showed HOW TO MAKE A BRAND and not APPLY a brand to a template.. This is really poor Adobe.  I've been a loyal member for years and require the APPLY brand for workflow fast for multiple clients.  You wasted a lot of my tim to find this truth of the lack of functionaility that should be core.

                      Agree this makes no sense.  I just started using Express exactly for this feature. It has always been their selling point "The entire team can create and maintain control over brand look and feel" I thought I was losing my mind searching for it and watching (now) outdated tutorials. Nope someone else lost theirs.  


                      The only things that are certain in life are software changes and taxes.  It's been that way for as long as I can remember.

                       

                      In any case, read the latest Adobe Express User Guide where it discusses how to Manage Brands.

                      "Custom Theme for Webpages:

                      We are working toward bringing this feature to the new Adobe Express. Meanwhile, if you have created a previous file with the Brand theme that you want to use - once you convert that file (even if you don't make any edits/republish that legacy file), the Brand theme used in it will show up in My Themes."
