The company also recently added another feature to Google Sites that makes it easier to pick up where you left off in case a page was changed by mistake or accidentally deleted as you can nowrestore specific web pages from version historyas opposed to having to restore entire sites.
Custom themes in Google Sites
Before this new update to Google Sites, the website builder featured six pre-created themes with limited customization options. While these pre-made themes are helpful for quickly creating a consistent look and feel for sites, they may not match your brand guidelines or specific style.
Now with the addition of custom themes though, Google Sites users have greater control over fonts and text style, colors, brand images, navigation settings as well as the style of components such as buttons and more.
Custom themes have begun rolling out for Rapid Release domains and will be rolled out to Scheduled Release domains beginning on October 6.
