CAUTION:
We strongly recommend that you use the out-of-the-box Theming Tool whenever possible due to upgrade risks when using Soy or FreeMarker themes. Alternatively, you can engage our professional service team to help you develop a custom theme if you don't want to do it yourself. Ask your Jive Software account representative about this service. For more information about the Theming Tool, see Theming community.

You must have administrator access rights to the instance.

  1. In the user interface, click your avatar and select Themes.

    This opens the Themes (Advanced) page.
  3. Click Download the Resource Kit and save the ZIP file.
    Alternatively, you can get the kit from your local instance at /your_jive_instance/theme/resourceKit.zip or you can download it from Guide to using Google Closure Templates in Jive 5.0 / 6.0 on Worx. Note that you must be a registered user to access this ZIP file.
