Way to rename my custom Theme from ‘This Document’, to our Company name

Question

Visio desktop app

I have created a Visio template .vstx which includes our Company brand colors. Select Design ribbon, Variants, Colors, Create New Theme Colors. created a Theme and Variant. Apply the colors and provide a name to the new Theme color. Which I have named as our Company Name.

The result is it displays the Custom Colors with our company name.

In Design, select Themes, the custom color displays at the bottom as ‘This Document’

Is there a way to rename my custom Theme from ‘This Document’, to our Company name? This allows it easy to identify its our company color. ‘This Document’ is not obvious, and users wont know what this is without training, and will also contact me wanting the Corporate colors.

TIA

Hi @dd88 ,

Based on my test, we are unable to change 'This Document' to other name, beacuse it is by design.
Here is article "New themes, variants and styles in Visio" indicates that the custom theme was found from "This document" category as following screenshot.
