New improvements for header and footer in SharePoint – more flexibility and simpler design

Here is the professional English translation:


Now, the possibilities for customizing the appearance in SharePoint are improving. Microsoft has recently announced an update that offers both site owners and users a more modern and flexible interface for site headers and footers. This change may be of interest if you work with SharePoint and Microsoft Teams, especially if you're looking to strengthen your internal brand or create a more consistent user experience.

Greater Flexibility for Site Owners

Site owners can now choose custom background images for headers and footers, and adjust overlay colors to better match the organization’s branding. There are also more fonts to choose from, making it easier to establish a distinct visual identity within the SharePoint environment. Additionally, the footer can now be left-aligned, providing increased flexibility for further layout customization.

Simpler and Cleaner Experience for Users

For users visiting a SharePoint site, a more streamlined view will now be displayed, with the command bar hidden in reading mode. This makes it easier to focus on the content without unnecessary distractions.

When Will the Changes Roll Out?

The rollout will begin at the end of August and is expected to be completed by mid-September 2025. The update applies to all users globally, including those in GCC environments.
