# What goes into a brandpad

> A brandpad holds your colours, logos, typography, media, strategy and guidelines. Learn what each part does and how Stipl uses it everywhere.

A brandpad is the core of Stipl: one place that holds everything your brand is. Stipl reads from it when it builds your brand guide, creates content and answers AI tools, so you keep your brand up to date in one place only.

## What a brandpad holds

| Part | What it holds |
| - | - |
| **Colours** | Your palette, with a role for each colour and a 60/30/10 balance that every tool follows. |
| **Logos** | Every lockup and colourway. Stipl generates print and web files for you. |
| **Typography** | A role for every weight, from small captions to display headings. |
| **Media** | Your photos. Stipl tags them and writes alt text automatically. |
| **Strategy** | Mission, audience and voice. Stipl drafts it with you, and you edit it. |
| **Guidelines** | Rules in your own words, for example for logo usage, voice and tone, or imagery. |

## Find your way around a brandpad

When you open a brandpad, the left bar turns into the brandpad's own menu:

* **← Brands** at the top takes you back to all your brands.
* The brandpad's logo and name show whether it is published or a draft. Click it to switch to another brandpad. You stay on the same section, so you can go from one brand's **Colors** straight to another's.
* **Preview** opens the published brand guide, and **Share** copies its link. They appear once the brandpad is published.
* Below that are the sections: **Overview**, **Colors**, **Logos**, **Typography**, **Media**, **Assets**, **Guidelines** and **Strategy**, then **Page Builder**, **Collaborators** and **Settings**. You see **Page Builder** if you can edit the brandpad, and **Collaborators** if you can manage who has access.

Each section fills the whole page. **Overview** opens with the brand's name and description. At the bottom, **Make for** your brand shows the brand's forms and its next event. Click either one to open **Forms** or **Events** with this brand already picked.

On a phone, the sections sit in a row under the brandpad's name that you can swipe through.

## One brandpad per brand

Each brand you look after gets its own brandpad. Agencies typically keep one brandpad per client.

## Changes reach everything

When you change something in the brandpad, the live brand guide and everything built from the brandpad update too. AI tools connected over MCP read the current version the next time they ask. See [Connect AI tools](https://help.stipl.studio/guides/ai-tools.md).
