Editing or Deleting your CSS or JavaScript files outside of Theme Press?

There may be situations where you will need to edit or delete your CSS or JavaScript directly in your operating system, without using the Theme Designer.

Your CSS files are located in a "css" folder in your system:

 <Confluence Home Directory>/brikit/themes/<Your Theme Name>/css

Your JavaScript files are located in a "scripts" folder in your system:

<Confluence Home Directory>/brikit/themes/<Your Theme Name>/scripts

If using:

  1. Replace me with something to note about this how-to entry that falls outside the scope of all other sections; and
  2. Add the tight-bottom class to the Steps block above to narrow the gap between the two blocks.

If using:

  1. Replace me with something to note about this how-to entry that falls outside the scope of all other sections; and
  2. Add the tight-bottom class to the next visible/non-collapsed block above this one to narrow the gap between the two blocks.

Using custom CSS and JavaScript can make your site less 'future-proof'

We recommend you use the built-in design functionality of Theme Press (including embedded CSS), rather than using custom CSS or JavaScript whenever possible. This ensures that your theme is 'future proof' – meaning that as both Confluence and Theme Press issue updates, your theme will continue to work well.

A theme highly customized with CSS will need to be extensively reviewed and potentially rebuilt, in order to 'map' to any changes made in the underlying structure after software updates.

Note also that because Theme Press is a Confluence App, there are multiple levels of CSS to override, and in such a dynamic environment, using the designer ensures that you are targeting elements with the correct level of specificity.
