## What Gets Saved as Default

Your default page style includes:

* **Font** - System, Serif, Mono, or Rounded
* **Text color** - Custom colors or system default
* **Document color** - Background color
* **Cover image** - If you've added one
* **Backdrop** - Solid color, gradient, or image

<Info title="Font Preferences">
  You can set your preferred text font in the Style tab of the right sidebar, then save it as your default. Each new document will automatically use your chosen font.
</Info>

## Creating Custom Styles

Before setting a default, you can create a fully customized style:

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Open the Styles menu from the sidebar
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Customize your font, colors, backdrop, and cover image
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Save your custom style
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Set it as your default
  </Step>
</Steps>

Your custom styles are saved and can be reused across different documents.

## Managing Default Styles

* **Change default**: Follow the same steps with a different style to replace your current default
* **Reset to system**: Choose the system default style and set it as your default
* **Per-document override**: You can always change the style of individual documents without affecting your default

## Use Cases

Setting a default style is particularly useful for:

* **Consistent branding** - Keep all your documents visually aligned
* **Personal preference** - Use your favorite font and colors automatically
* **Project templates** - Create different defaults for different workspaces
* **Professional appearance** - Ensure all documents have a polished look

<Warning title="Workspace-Specific">
  Default styles are set per space. If you work in multiple spaces, you'll need to set the default for each one separately.
