How to Change Font Styles and Color Palettes on All Pages in a Document

Under Design -> Styles you can select font styles and/or color palettes you'd like to apply to your design. When you click on a style, it will apply it to the select page. Then at the bottom of the screen, it will ask you if you want to apply it to all pages.

When you do choose to change an entire document by applying a new style, you should always review all your pages to ensure that the colors look right and all your elements line up correctly. Since different fonts vary in size, there will likely be adjustments needed.
