[Watch on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZmmQEpPyB4) · Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (YouTube) · 2024-12-13 · 5:20 · tier official · reviewed (checked by Opus)

## Overview

The video follows a marketing department wanting a winter-themed sales quote. It opens the Report Layouts page, looks at the standard blue themeable quote layout, and shows that the layout responds to Office design and themes, including fonts and colors.

The presenter then edits the layout in Word. This includes using the new Abts font, which is available in Business Central Online as of December 2024. A snowflake image is generated and added as a picture watermark. The layout is uploaded to Business Central and tested. The video ends with a strategy of setting different themed layouts as the default for different seasons.

## Key points

- Themeable layouts were added in 2024 release wave 2 and let report layouts such as sales quotes, confirmations and invoices follow Office themes.
- In Word, the Design and Themes options change the fonts and colors of a themeable layout.
- The Abts font in Office is available in Business Central Online as of December 2024.
- Custom picture watermarks can be added to a Word layout for themed designs.
- The edited layout is uploaded through the Report Layouts page and used for the Sales Quote report.
- Different themed layouts can be set as default for different periods, for example December or January, and switched later.
- The presenter says a marketing department can do this in a few minutes without a developer.
