This checklist defines how to import or create a Bricks custom theme style and ensure it is saved for reuse.
Having a custom theme style prevents styling work from being overwritten when Bricks default styles are updated and allows consistent reuse across sites.
Checklist Objective
Ensure a Bricks custom theme style exists, is selected, and is exported so it can be reused or re‑imported in the future.
