Customize ClickUp Doc page styles

ClickUp Docs let you customize page styles so every document matches your team’s branding, structure, and readability needs while staying consistent across workspaces.

This guide explains how to open the page styles panel, adjust layout and typography, and manage saved styles, based strictly on the official feature behavior.

Open ClickUp Doc page styles

You can quickly access page style controls from any Doc page to start customizing the layout and appearance.

1. Open a Doc in your workspace.

2. Hover over the right side of the page to reveal the toolbar.

3. Select the Page styles icon to open the panel.

The page styles panel appears on the right side of the editor and updates live as you change options.

ClickUp page styles layout options

Layout settings control the basic width and spacing of your Doc content. Use them to improve readability and visual balance.

Set ClickUp Doc width

Choose how wide your content area should be:

• Full width: Expands content to fill the available screen space.
• Fixed width: Keeps content in a narrower column for easier reading and printing.

Switch between these options at any time to match your content type, such as meeting notes, wikis, or detailed specs.

Adjust page spacing in ClickUp Docs

Spacing defines how much white space surrounds your content.

• Default: Balanced padding around the content area.
• Wide: Adds more space at the sides for a lighter, less crowded look.
• Comfortable: Optimized spacing for long-form reading.

Use wider spacing for narrative or knowledge base content, and tighter spacing when you need compact information density.

Typography settings in ClickUp Docs

Typography controls how text looks across your Doc, including font, size, and line height. These settings apply across the current page for consistent styling.

Choose a font family

Select a font that matches your brand or preferred reading style. From the page styles panel you can pick from supported font families that balance clarity and aesthetics.

Changing the font updates headings, body text, and lists to maintain a unified visual style.

Set font size in ClickUp Docs

Adjust the base font size for better readability:

• Small: For compact reference docs or dense technical information.
• Medium: A balanced option for most documents.
• Large: Ideal for presentations, shared screens, or accessibility needs.

All text scales according to the base size so headings maintain their relative hierarchy.

Control line height

Line height (line spacing) affects how much vertical space appears between lines of text.

• Tighter: Fits more content on the screen; useful for short notes.
• Standard: Good for general-purpose Docs.
• Looser: Adds breathing room for long reading sessions and improved readability.

Use line height together with font size to fine-tune the reading experience.

Manage ClickUp Doc page style presets

You can save custom settings as reusable presets and apply them across other pages for consistent document design.

Create a new style preset

1. Open the Page styles panel in your Doc.

2. Adjust layout, width, spacing, font, size, and line height as desired.

3. Click Save as style or the equivalent option in the panel.

4. Enter a clear, descriptive name for the style so your team can recognize it.

5. Confirm to save the preset.

Your new style now appears in the list of available styles for that Doc and potentially for other Docs, depending on workspace settings.

Apply a saved ClickUp style

1. Open the target Doc page.

2. Open the Page styles panel.

3. Select the desired saved style from the list.

4. Confirm if prompted. The page updates instantly to match the selected style.

Applying a saved style does not alter your content; it only changes layout and typography settings.

Update or remove existing styles

When style preferences change, you can modify or remove presets so your ClickUp Docs stay aligned with your current standards.

• Update a style:

  1. Open a Doc that uses the style.

  2. Adjust settings in the page styles panel.

  3. Choose the option to Update the current style so all pages using it can reflect the new configuration.

• Delete a style:

  1. Open the styles list.

  2. Select the style’s menu or options icon.

  3. Choose Delete or the equivalent action and confirm.

Removing a style usually stops it from being available for new pages; existing pages may keep their last applied visual settings until you switch them to a different style.

Best practices for ClickUp Doc design

Use these tips to keep your documents clean, consistent, and easy to scan.

• Standardize by use case: Create one style for internal knowledge base articles, another for client-facing Docs, and a third for quick notes.
• Balance width and font size: Wide layouts often work better with slightly larger text and increased line height to prevent long, hard-to-follow lines.
• Test on multiple screens: Preview Docs on different monitor sizes and browser zoom levels to ensure readability.
• Use clear style names: Include details like “Wiki – Fixed width” or “Client Handouts – Large font” so everyone picks the right preset.
